Under One Roof: Multigenerational Households During the Pandemic
Under One Roof is a podcast about Multigenerational households living through the pandemic. We are Anthropology students from Cal Poly Pomona. Over the past few years we interviewed people living together in households consisting of children, parents, and grandparents during the COVID 19 pandemic. Now, under the leadership of our professor, Dr. Amy Dao, we want to share the stories we’ve uncovered
Under One Roof was created with financial support from Cal Poly Pomona and the National Science Foundation. Thank you to StoryCenter for production and storytelling guidance.
