Virtual Event

Dr. Lori Beckstead, Dr. Ian Cook, and Dr. Hannah McGregor will be speaking about their latest book on academic podcasting, Podcast or Perish!

The growth of scholarly podcasting engenders radical possibilities for how we conceive of knowledge creation and peer review. By investigating the historical development of the norms of scholarly communication, the unique affordances of sound-based scholarship and the transformative potential of new modes of creating and reviewing expert knowledge, Podcast or Perish is the call to action academia needs, by asking how podcasting might change the very ways we think about scholarly work.

Lori Beckstead is a podcaster and Associate Professor in the RTA School of Media at Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada, who loves dad jokes, footnotes, and bandying about the word ‘neoliberalism’.

Ian M. Cook is an anthropologist from a magical place where giant gingers are produced. He works for OLIve - the Open Learning Initiative in Hungary, which provides adult education for people who have experienced displacement.

Hannah McGregor is a podcaster, writer, and Associate Professor of Publishing at Simon Fraser University, Canada. She always has an automated email reply on, even when she’s not on holiday.
