She reached into her educational background as a literature-scholar-turned-journalist to make connections for the anticipating audience. On-screen, she displayed Swiss-German artist Paul Klee\u2019s 1920 \u201cAngelus Novus\u201d to tell the story of its owner, Walter Benjamin, a German-Jewish philosopher who named the piece the \u201cAngel of History\u201d before he died in lieu of being caught fleeing France by the Nazi regime. The frozen image of a wary winged creature illustrated Goudeau\u2019s thesis\u2014pulled from Benjamin\u2019s own \u201cThesis IX\u201d\u2014\u201dOne of the most sacred tasks of human beings is not to fix, but to witness,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Goudeau\u2019s first opportunities to witness came as a graduate student in Austin, Texas, when Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans and other gulf coast towns. Watching that loss as a Red Cross volunteer prepared her for meeting Mu Naw, a Christian from Myanmar who resettled in Texas after years in a refugee camp. Goudeau eventually built a friendship and a nonprofit with Mu Naw and other Myanmar refugee women, only to strain that trust by taking pictures of herself handing those women checks for the successful sale of their crafts for income.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cThe move to really see the people began in me first on a cold November night with a camera in hand and checks,\u201d Goudeau said. \u201cThat was the start of the journey to realizing the goal was not to fix.

Zach Franco, a senior anthropology<\/a> and Spanish<\/a> student from Lighthouse Point, Florida, who also works for Eckerd\u2019s student newspaper, The Current<\/a><\/em>, asked Goudeau how she interviews her subjects about the traumatic experiences of war and resettlement without further traumatizing them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI go into interviews with lots of caveats about publication; maybe less than 10% of my interviews are for publication,\u201d she explained. \u201cI tell people I am not a therapist and let them lead. I ask, \u2018What do you want to tell me?\u2019 And we go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n
