Multimodal Identities: How Podcasting Can Unbind Creative Voices

111AB, Pennsylvania Convention Center, 100 Level
Friday, March 25, 2022
3:20 pm to 4:35 pm

 

Considering how much the multimodal pedagogical framework lives within the realm of multicultural literacies, there is a strong case to be made that the inclusion of podcasts into the creative writing classroom could prove invaluable, especially given that many workshops fail to serve a significant portion of students who either don’t feel welcome or don’t feel capable. This panel will discuss how podcasts exist within an a priori cultural space, almost as if tailor-made to address these issues.
