Podcast Shenanigans

In my Social Justice, Human Rights, and the Media large-lecture class, 165 students worked together to create a podcast featuring women who have been impacted by the criminal justice system in Nebraska.

audio production and online instruction

When we were all forced to move classes online in March of 2020, I was teaching a large lecture class on race and gender in the media. I had never produced a podcast (and we were all just doing our best), so I decided to convert the weekly lecture into a weekly podcast. To be clear, this isn’t an example of awesome audio production, but it is a cool example of critical pedagogy during a global pandemic.

During the pandemic, I partnered with a professor at the University of South Carolina to discuss how the pandemic was affecting us personally and professionally.
