Thanks everyone! In regards to requirements, it needs to be someone who experienced it/lived during that time or someone who is an expert in the field, ie: a college professor. I will pass along this website to my student and see what they decide to do. Thank you all again for your help!

Interviews

Mon, 16 Feb 2009 07:53:58 PST

I am currently leading my students in a Jr. Research project. One of their required sources is an interview conducted by the student. Is there anyone who would be willing to participate in an email interview concerning the Cold War?

If so please post and let me know, I have a student who is having a very hard time finding someone to interview.

Thanks so much!
