Between 1981 and 1985, Dr. Gloria Valencia-Weber and Dr. Glenna Matthews, both faculty members at Oklahoma State University at the time, conducted 17 interviews with Dr. Angie Debo (Collection #1985-013). The interviewers developed questions that covered many aspects of Dr. Debo's life and philosophy. Included in the interviews are discussions of her writing and relationship with publishers, her family and hometown, her employment, her work on establishing Native American land and water rights, and the history of Oklahoma. These interviews are an important source of information for Dr. Debo's philosophies on several topics. A subject list is provided below, and the transcripts can be accessed at the Oklahoma State University Archives.
Gloria Valencia-Weber was a faculty member in the Psychology Department at Oklahoma State University at the time the interviews were conducted. She received a master's degree from Oklahoma State University and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. She met Angie Debo while both were working for the Oklahoma American Civil Liberties Union. Dr. Valencia-Weber served as Director of the Indian Law Certificate Program at the University of New Mexico School of Law from 1994 until Fall 2002. While she recently took Emerita status from the University of New Mexico, she continues to teach.
Glenna Matthews possesses history degrees from San Jose State (B.A.) and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Stanford University. Her first academic position was in the History Department at Oklahoma State University. She continued her academic career at the University of California (at Berkeley. UCLA, Irvine, and Davis) as well as at Stanford. Matthews is the author of "Just a Housewife": The Rise and Fall of Domesticity in America (Oxford UP, 1987), The Rise of Public Woman: Woman's Power and Woman's Place in the United States, 1630-1970 (Oxford UP, 1992), and Silicon Valley, Women, and the California Dream (Stanford UP, 2002), among others.
