Project PhDcast

Welcome to my new podcast research website!

I am a PhD student in the Interdisciplinary Humanities PhD program at Brock University, working under the supervision of Dr. Aaron Mauro in the Department of Digital Humanities.

My research examines how podcasting as a communication technology works politically, socially, and culturally with both academic and non-academic audiences. I am exploring how podcasts engage with ideas of expertise and authority and how the unique characteristics of the medium, such as its intimacy and open access nature, democratize research and engage non-academic audiences.

I have experience as an independent podcaster as cohost and producer of MythTake and producer and host of Foreword for Brock University’s Faculty of Humanities.

I hold an MA in Classics from Brock University (2013) and undergraduate degrees from both McMaster University (2009) and Glendon College, York University (2003).
