While a graduate student at OHMA, Kordell Keyandre (KK) Hammond's research explored interactional socio-historical linguistics and contemporary North-American discourse analysis. His OHMA fieldwork and exhibit, A View Through Them: An Americana Issue (2020), spoke with educators of color who interrogated questions of media messages on attitudes of public health, public opinion, public memory and public school education.

His aural thesis draws from said fieldwork, and guides close-readers through an autobiographical narrative prelude: Reading, writing and listening to his own autobiographical prose as a psychoanalytic medium of self-study. KK's oral history is loosely based on humanistic psychologist Carl Rogers' client centered therapy.
