Oral History & Education Project

The Oral History and Education Project of the International Society for Quality of Life Studies and the Gallup Institute for Global Well Being was founded and produced by Michael B. Frisch. The Project’s goal is to produce oral histories, video documentaries, and educational interviews with the top researchers in the fields of positive psychology and quality of life, in order to preserve their academic legacies, share their findings, and encourage a new generation of researchers and disseminators of this important knowledge. Role models of service and philanthropy are also being interviewed. The founder and producer of this project is Michael B. Frisch.
