Las Voces de Las Mujeres de Xelajú
Las Voces de las Mujeres de Xelajú is an ethnographic project conduced by a researcher at the university of Hawaii. She travelled to Guatemala and interviewed several Guatemalan women at different stages in life, asking them all the same seven questions about their lives. The entire series is available online at http://larc.sdsu.edu/voces/VocesGuatemala/Historia.html. I have students view the answers to one question by several women at one time, and then answer the question themselves as a comment on my blog.
