Podcasting Scholarship with On the Boards

In 2007-2008 the Simpson Center teamed up with On the Boards, a contemporary performing arts center in Seattle, to produce podcast lectures by University of Washington faculty and graduate students. The podcasts provide aesthetic, social, historical, political, and cultural context for approaching the challenging avant-garde and international performances showcased at On the Boards.

During the first year of the project, one-third of the podcast visits come from Washington State residents, but fifteen percent came from other countries: China, Mexico, Latvia, the Netherlands and elsewhere. Here the digital humanities and the public humanities come together to link local and global publics.
