| Project Summary | This is a proposal to create a weekly hour-long podcast and radio program with UBC students, UBC faculty, and leading global thinkers. Each episode will feature captivating interdisciplinary and intergenerational conversations, which explore important global issues such as climate, change, education, development and global finance. These conversations will extend into ASIC200, BarTalk, and a vibrant online community at terry.ubc.ca - where our audience will find related blog posts, discussion questions, comments, web exclusives, and further reading. Our proposal has no precedent in North American higher education. Unlike most university podcasts, which typically feature poorly recorded lectures, our aim is to create an entertaining and professional program with broad appeal on and off campus. Our chief goals are to (1) connect UBC's fragmented community (with particular emphasis on commuter students); (2) advance the public discourse around important global issues; and (3) serve as a valuable teaching, learning, and outreach tool for UBC faculty. |
