A Work(place) in Progress: A Podcast by ENGL 1103 Students

The final assignment in Honors ENGL 1103: Labor Histories & the Future of Work asked students to consider as a class what labor-related events, innovations, and ideas might bring people together as a community of listeners, and to pitch a podcast series addressing those themes and topics.

Working in teams of two and three, students located artifacts in Georgia State University’s Southern Labor Archives, conducted further research on the history and context of what they found, then wrote and produced each of these podcast episodes telling the stories they uncovered and connecting them to the labor issues and struggles of the present.

In the final episode, Southern Labor Archivist Lisa Vallen, Writing Across the Curriculum Consultant Em Gates, and I discuss how we envisioned and planned the course.

Give them a listen!
