Cohort 05: Camila Paz Gutiérrez, Loren Easterday Lee, Mary Walsh Roche, Rissa Willis
Finds from the Archive is a podcast about archives, stories, and everything in between. When we say ‘archive’ we don’t just mean places like museums or stacks of books and boxes in library basements. Each of us is an archivist in our own way. In libraries and in living rooms, in doctors’ offices and deep in digital files – everywhere people have touched – we have left stories behind. In this episode Rissa Willis, Mary Roche, Loren Lee, and Camila Gutiérrez share their unique finds from the archive.
Cohort 07: Andrew Loyd Craig, Laura Carrington OBrion, Morgan Leigh Schneider, Kayla M Shea
The Battle of the Green Fishes: One Historical Mystery, Unlimited Perspectives
In this episode, we explore a skirmish you’ve probably never heard of: the Battle of the Green Fishes. A massive conflict in which thousands lost their lives, this battle constituted a defining moment in the history of naval warfare. For those who fought that day, the devastation and human suffering were unforgettable. And yet, the event has been largely forgotten in the modern world. But all is not as it seems. Beyond a simple war story, the Battle of the Green Fishes also makes us question how we know what we know about history, and how we share that history and tell those stories today. Listen in to discover the mystery.
Cohort 06: Tylor Cunningham, Sophia Muriel Flemming, Tegan Flowers, Meaghan Walsh, Jamie Nicole Weiss
In this podcast, hosts Tylor Cunnigham, Sophia Murial Flemming, Tegan Flowers, Meaghan Walsh, and Jamie Weiss riff on beloved 1980s classic The Breakfast Club. In a series of sketches, our speakers share moments where they felt like outsiders in grad school. From insecurities about fitting in to feeling like (or being told) they don’t belong, the hosts challenge the notion of what it means to be a “traditional” grad student and show how graduate students have more in common than they might think.
Cohort 11: Samaria Divine, Savannah Greer Downing, Franzi Finkenstein, Oluwatomisin Abisola Ogungbenle
“On the Womb” is a podcast where four hosts share their perspectives on the womb, based on their academic disciplines and personal experiences.
Cohort 12: Arlowe Sue Clementine, Nikki Fogle, Priscilla Martinez, Tess Fern Stepakoff
The ‘I’ in Academia” features co-hosts Priscilla Martinez, Arlowe Clementine, Nikki Fogle, and Tess Stepakoff as they ask and attempt to answer the question: “Why is it important to highlight humanity within the humanities?” We know it sounds like a no-brainer–I mean, it’s in the name, right? But you would be surprised–finding the human in humanities is often harder to locate than we scholars are comfortable admitting. So join us as we share intimate stories from our lives that both show and tell how we each anchor our personal “I’s” in Academia. And, while our positionality, experiences, mediums, and research focuses within our institutions differ, we are all humanities scholars working to tell honest and holistic stories that leverage interdisciplinary methodologies. In our first segment, we share personal stories that highlight themes of breaking rules, championing authenticity, remembering names, and embracing detours in our scholarship. Then, in our second half, we make space in a guided panel discussion to further explore the ways in which their work complicates and reimagines what it means to do community-centered scholarship within our fields and ask questions about the future of our work. So grab your favorite drink, flip the noise cancellation on your headphones, and or turn up the volume in your car and spend some time with us as we share our stories and our scholarship. *Trigger Warning*: In our first segment, there is mention of sexual assault and trauma. This discussion begins at 8:07 to 11:07
Cohort 14: Adrian Alarilla, Faith Ann Bennett, Brittney A Jimenez, Rebecca Jones
The Grad Lab is a podcast in which four Humanities and Social Science graduate students work to learn how our families understand research and work and how our families have informed our research and work. Stemming from a conversation on accountability in our research join graduate students Adrian Alarilla, Faith Bennett, Brittney Jimenez, and Bex Jones and as they interview family members about their respective work on Filipino migration history, food service labor history, youth-led movement moments, and air quality as a site of of anthropological study. In the episode, Jimenez remarks, "this work should matter and I see youth take it into their hands that this world should matter and it was so nice to know that she could see why I cared and that my work is my care and my love for her and for her to have a better future." Our work is a love letter to our families and our futures.
Cohort 16: Laura Yasmin Catterson, Maria Job, Erick Msumanje, Joyan Tan
On December 23, 2022, the six-week long strike across 10 University of California campuses officially came to an end. Contracts had been proposed, voted on and ratified. Things appeared to settle down into a regained sense of normalcy as the Winter quarter approached. But for the 48,000 academic workers who had left their places of work to picket and march across campuses and cities, how did they feel as memories of the strike began to fade into the background? Was this a groundbreaking contract symbolizing victory or one that left academic workers feeling disillusioned and betrayed? How did the experience of the strike change the ways in which academic workers viewed themselves and their communities? In 48,000, we give voice to the feelings and emotions of graduate students in this moment while exploring themes of community-building, protest music, and a vision for the future.
Cohort 18: Brian Aitken, Santiago Eslava-Bejarano, Elena G Mailander, Maureen McGuire
Strike That, an NHC Winter 2023 Institute podcast, explores the University of California 2022 academic worker strike through the lens of graduate students representing three campuses from across the UC system. Strike That dives deeply into the students' decision to and motivation for striking, their experiences on the picket line, and their thoughts on the Union’s newest contract with the UC system.
