Main PageInterviews Sought with African American Military Women for New Book on the Gulf WarSavannah, GA—February 14, 2006—Liz Desnoyers-Colas, assistant professor of communications at Armstrong Atlantic State University, has received a grant to conduct research for her book, Marching to War: Personal Narratives of African American Women's Gulf War Experiences. Desnoyers-Colas is a retired African-American U.S. Air Force officer who served in Gulf War I. Her research focus is the use of story telling and narrative as an integral cultural oral communication tool among African Americans. Desnoyers-Colas is conducting a nationwide search to find African American women who have served in the United States military in the Middle East region during the two gulf wars. She wants to interview women from all of the Department of Defense components (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines), and from all military ranks and job specialties. Interviews will start early April, will last one to one-and-a-half hours, and will be either videotaped or audio taped. Those who are interested in being interviewed will receive an initial survey. The author will select between 30-50 women from the responses that are submitted. To receive an initial survey, contact Liz Desnoyers-Colas at colaseli@mail.armstrong.edu or 912.921.5597. |
