Podcasting for The Humanities: Creating Digital Stories for The Public
The UC Faculty Podcasting Institute will provide hands-on training for UC humanities 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.
During the five-day virtual institute, participants will work with a group of UC faculty colleagues to create a podcast episode on a topic of shared interest. The skills learned through this practicum can then be applied to creating your own podcast series.
Workshop Dates: December 13-17, 2021
Participants will:
- Forge new intellectual connections between public life, humanities research, and responsive digital media.
- Deepen collaborative inquiry and project management skills.
- Hone their ability to communicate humanities expertise in accessible and publicly-responsive formats.
- Acquire conceptual and technical skills to create, revise, and publish broadcast-ready podcasts.
- Develop skills and networks valuable within and beyond the university.
All equipment will be purchased and sent to attendees for use during the week. Attendees will be able to keep the equipment after the completion of the Institute. Technical support will be given throughout the week. Participants should plan to attend Monday through Friday, 9 am to 5 pm (with breaks included).
Deadline to apply is November 12, 2021
