This week’s Building Publics explores how audio media can expand the contours and questions that define humanistic work, particularly in the context of teaching. Fellows Milan Terlunen and Olivia Branscum, editors of How to Read podcast, will be in conversation with Michelle Williams and Sierra Eckert.

Milan Terlunen studies British, French and German literature at Columbia University. His research is on the history of the plot twist in nineteenth-century literature.

Olivia Branscum is a graduate student of philosophy at Columbia University, where she works on under-appreciated early modern and medieval thinkers. She is particularly interested in how they explain situations where the boundaries between people and objects get blurred.
