Silicon Valley and the wider Bay Area are known today as places of innovation, success, and wealth. But the histories of the Bay Area and Silicon Valley have overshadowed and displaced other histories and voices. This includes the histories of indigenous peoples who have lived in the area for thousands of years. Those histories have been largely marginalized and erased from public memory (Panich 2022). Highlighting these marginalized histories–and the complex, often unequal politics of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area–is one of the main goals of this project. Building off the work of English-Lueck (2017) and Walker (2018), who have documented the wider histories, patterns of change, and politics of the Bay Area, this project seeks to ‘disrupt Silicon Valley’s stories’ (Jegathesan and Anderson 2018) by documenting the displaced, marginalized, and overshadowed histories of everyday residents of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area. Student projects will examine issues ranging from redlining (Rothstein 2017) to homelessness and housing discrimination (Chang 2017; Chang et al. 2022, 2023; Beltran et al., 2019), gentrification and displacement (Walker 2018; Walker and Shafran 2015; Shange 2019a), historical erasure (Panich 2022), climate change (Rush 2018), and educational access and equity (Shange 2019b; Davidson 2008).
