Podcasting the Humanities: Creating Digital Stories for the Public
June 14-18, 2021
Application due April 5, 2021 via EEE Scout
The Humanities Center will provide three scholarships for Academic Senate faculty with primary appointments in the School of Humanities to attend the National Humanities Center’s Virtual Institute for College/University Faculty “Podcasting the Humanities: Creating Digital Stories for the Public.”
Podcasting has become a common form of storytelling in the digital and social media age. More than reporting or delivering a lecture or essay, podcasts are accessible ways for expert voices to offer commentary on the increasingly complicated world we live in. Podcasts also offer interesting new ways to share scholarship, engage in peer review, and speak to a broader audience.
This five-day virtual institute will provide hands-on training for college and university faculty to translate research, commentary, and community-sourced narratives into podcast episodes. Working in cross-disciplinary and intra-university teams, participants will learn how to express ideas in storyboard form, create and collect audio content, and edit their narrative into an entertaining, powerful podcast. All equipment will be provided, and technical support will be given throughout the week.
For more details about the program, see the NHC website.
