In groups of 3-4 students make a 10 minute podcast as a final project. The podcasts are written for a general/non-scientific audience, but include an in-depth exploration of a technical scientific paper on one of the mass extinctions. The goals for producing podcasts are to research a narrow mass extinction related topic in detail, practice science communication, and have fun.

The Half the History project is dedicated to creating and curating under-told and untold stories about diverse women through short-form biography, film, and podcast. 

The American Medical Directories (AMDs) were periodically published by the American Medical Association from 1906 and present an immense opportunity to illuminate the organizational dynamics of professional medicine in the early 20th century. In addition to physicians’ names and practice locations, these volumes also contain valuable information about individuals’ training histories and medical specializations, demographic characteristics, and membership in state and local societies.

The MyTERN Conversations Podcast shares powerful conversations about life before, during, and after incarceration, using personal storytelling to reveal the systems of racial, gender, and economic injustice that shape our lives. Through MyTERN Conversations, we invite listeners to rethink entrenched stereotypes about people impacted by the carceral state and to question assumptions about difference and diversity. At the same time, we highlight the role of education and community in healing, supporting others, and building meaningful change.

Together with one or two peers, students are assigned a scene from an Italian film. They are asked to re-write the script in Italian, record the new lines and dub them in the video. 

This project invites students to imagine the incredible variety of Jewish communities, identities, and performances in the U.S. from the middle of the nineteenth-century to the present day. As Jewish citizens established themselves in sites from Murfreesboro to New Orleans, from Galveston to San Francisco, they wrestled with how their Jewish identities might be perceived by non-Jewish residents and with what “versions” of Jewish identities they wanted to perform for themselves and others.
