MI Diaries
How has your week been? What are you grateful for this week? Tell us your stories.
We are a project documenting changes in the lives and language of people living in Michigan.
Across the state, kids, teens, and adults send us ‘audio diaries’ recorded on their phones or other devices. We send new prompts each week to get the diarists thinking, and they respond! Diarists can receive a gift card every week as a thank you.
Your audio diaries will help us answer research questions about how and why language changes over time.
Join us! It’s easy to become a contributor to MI Diaries.
