Abstract

Education is well documented as a public project—teaching and learning occur in extrainstitutional spaces that extend the boundaries of where knowledge exists. While education research seeks to describe, study, and “remedy” issues emerging in schools, cultural theorists highlight how “everyday folks” (hooks, 2006) share and critique ideas across differences and experiences. Featuring four podcasts, we illustrate how to extend the role of higher education in instantiating inclusive public discourse. Centered around 1) play and pop culture, 2) curriculum making, 3) embodied storytelling in West African cultures and 4) solution-oriented research to gun violence, we demonstrate podcasts as a form of public scholarship and community engagement that can disrupt hierarchies and produce more inclusive spaces for knowledge exchange.
