Call for Applications | 3 SOH Nominations
Graduate Student Podcasting Institute
San Diego State University, June 15–19, 2020
Application due date: Friday January 31, via EEE Scout
The School of Humanities will support up to three graduate students to attend the National
Humanities Center’s Regional Institute for Graduate Students: “Podcasting the Humanities:
Creating Digital Stories for the Public.” Podcasting has become a common form of
storytelling in the digital and social media age. This five-day residential institute will
provide hands-on training for PhD students in the humanities to translate research,
commentary, and community-sourced narratives into podcast episodes.
Working in cross-disciplinary and intra-university teams, participants will learn how to
storyboard an idea, to create and collect audio content, and to edit their narrative into an
entertaining, powerful podcast. All equipment will be provided, and technical support will
be given throughout the week.
UCI SOH scholarship ($2400) includes tuition, lodging, food, and a small stipend ($500).
