Episode 3: Digital Collaborations

The digital wave is sweeping the humanities, raising provocative new questions: Should podcasting count as a form of scholarship, and can the dissertation be something other than a book-length monograph? In this episode, we visit the National Humanities Center’s virtual podcasting institute in 2020, where Lauren, June, Mirna, and Kevin met and collaborated on a podcast about digital intimacies during the pandemic lockdown. We caught up with them one year later. We also spoke with Andy Mink, Vice President of Education Programs at the National Humanities Center, about NHC’s programming for graduate students and the importance of interdisciplinary collaborations. Bonus: a meditative ASMR for graduate students. Contact us at [email protected].
