Humanities Podcast Network Symposium
Event details
Description
Humanities Podcast Network Symposium, 8th November
For the fourth iteration of the HPN Symposium, we find ourselves interrogating, engaging with, and pushing the boundaries of the concept of 鈥渂est practices鈥 and how it relates to humanities podcasting. Our initial inquiry was born out of a discussion about the need to counteract worker invisibility and exploitation on university campus podcast teams. But this raised a larger, thornier debate: Are there other agreed-upon principles of podcast-making and audio creation? If so, have they emanated from particular forebears and models, or sprung up out of habitual creation like unwritten, but widely understood, common laws? Are there contexts peculiar to podcasting that deserve their own careful ethical treatment or understanding?

How we understand being 鈥榟uman鈥 differs between disciplines and has changed radically over time. We are living in an age marked by rapid growth in knowledge about the human body and brain, and new technologies with the potential to change them.
