Consent Forms in Community-Engaged Learning Classes

All class projects involving interviewing or audiovisual recording require consent forms, signed and dated by participants in the project. The precise nature of the appropriate consent form varies according to the project. It is important to explain how the collected materials are likely to be used, and to clarify if persons are willing to be identified by name. Also indicate what community organizations are participating in the project.

Here are some sample consent forms used in previous classes and projects:

• The Spanish 105 forms in Spanish
• The Spanish 105 forms in English
• West Medford Afro-American Research Project (Anth 159a, Museums and Public Memory, fall 2005): Medford Consent Form
• Memory and Cultural Production in the Mississippi Delta: Delta Consent Form
• South Sudanese Cultural Preservation and Documentation Project: Sudan Consent Form
• Waltham Community Archives Project: Archives Consent Form
