My Students’ INterdisciplinary podcasts
“Encountering Confinement”
For their final project, the first-year students in my Spring 2022 Boston College course worked in groups of 3-5 to conduct interdisciplinary research (sociological and historical) on an issue of social confinement on campus. In addition to research reports and presentations, the groups created podcasts to share their findings more widely.
