Staring Out to Sea is an oral history project dedicated to collecting the stories of those impacted by Hurricane Sandy, which struck parts of North America's eastern coastline in 2012. This project is directed by historian Abigail Perkiss of New Jersey's Kean University, and features the work of a number of undergraduate students at Kean. Collectively, these students interviewed dozens of individuals who survived Hurricane Sandy and recorded their stories, offering insight into the human impact of the hurricane. On this website, visitors can browse and listen to these stories via the interview tab. Most of these interviews are currently hosted at the website of the University of Kentucky Library's Louis B. Nunn Center for Oral History. Many of these interviews have been organized into topics (e.g. Media Coverage of Hurricane Sandy; Impact of Hurricane Sandy on Elections), so that listeners interested in a particular topic can skip to the portions of each interview that are of special interest. This collection may especially appeal to anyone with a connection to New Jersey or other areas impacted by Hurricane Sandy, as well as those interested in oral history.
