Episode 16: Nicole Jean Hill on the Possibilities of a Career as an Artist

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Welcome back to Yeah, I Got an F#%*ing Job with a Liberal Arts Degree. This show is about the value of a liberal arts education. Jeff Crane, student of the liberal arts, environmental historian, and higher education administrator for the past 12 years, hosts a wide range of guests whose experiences as students of the liberal arts have shaped their lives in school, as professionals, and in their lives outside of their careers. For episode 16, Cal Poly Humboldt's own Nicole Jean Hill joins the show to discuss her relationship with photography, her role as the chair of the Art+Film department at CPH, and her ongoing work archiving the photographs of Laura Webb Nichols. Nicole's photographs have been exhibited throughout the U.S., Europe, Canada and Australia. She has been an artist-in-residence at many locations across the United States and her book Encampment, Wyoming: Selections from the Lora Webb Nichols Archive 1899-1948 was published by FW Books, Amsterdam and shortlisted for the Aperture/Paris Photo Photo Book of the Year in 2021.
