I could help facilitate a session on crowdfunding for projects in the humanities–this month I’ve been running a Kickstarter campaign for my oral history project on African American AIDS activism. The link is here:

I would like to be able to do a session from my own experience about how to do this successfully, so if y’all could share with friends and pledge something if you can, that would be really helpful. In any case, I’d be happy to share and to talk about things like promoting through social media, making an introductory video, and any of the technical aspects of setting up a Kickstarter campaign. If anyone has used other platforms like Indiegogo maybe we could pair up and lead a session together.

PS There’s also a video update that might be of particular interest to y’all, since it’s a clip from an interview with one of the founding members of the U.S. Women’s Positive Network:
