Podcasting for Justice in Linguistics Courses

Podcasts are an immensely popular medium for news, documentaries, interviews, and many other genres. They are also an effective pedagogical tool, both as texts for learners to consume and as assignments for students to create. In this article we present findings from our students' experiences of creating podcasts in upper-level Language and Gender courses and reflect on the affordances and possible risks of this kind of project. We argue that podcasting projects, which center student learning and produce accessible, public-facing scholarship, can also provide a means of resisting injustice in linguistics, in the academy, and in the wider community.
