We are currently inviting chapter proposals for the inaugural volume in the Routledge Perspectives on Education in Audio & Music Production series, with the title Podcasting & Education: Concepts, Communities & Case Studies.
Audio and podcasting have gained particular significance in recent years. The acceleration of technological integration of audio into our daily lives and our learning environments predates the Covid crises, but the pandemic has increased this trend significantly. With the rise of smart speakers, the adoption of podcast standards and an evolution towards increasingly becoming interactive and ‘glocal’ (local significance with global reach), podcasting is on the rise. With content production becoming more feasible, this audio blogging has allowed former classical (and gatekeeping) cultural producers to be only one of many creators in the audio story telling sectors. Podcasting technology demonstrates the ability to allow individuals to easily move between content producers and content consumers and is thus becoming a key part of our knowledge society. Education is increasingly taking note of this development with universities and learning organisations finding more creative and relevan ways od delivering content and undertaking assessment with their learners. All these factors are driving a new desire to increasingly embed podcasting and other digital skills into our learning environments.
Podcasting & Education is thus seeking contributions that investigate the modern cross-sections between podcasting and education, relevant especially in a post- or intra-pandemic world. Contributions should explore the critical and conceptual underpinnings that make podcasting so attractive for inclusion into various learning environments, and particularly welcome are contributions that present a number of controversies and debates that are influencing the development and application of this audio technology.
The volume will encourage proposals from all disciplines and from those involved in using podcasting for and in education. We welcome case studies as examples of practice within specific disciplinary fields.
Contributors should note that this volume is aimed to be of interest to:
- educating podcasters and podcasting educators
- academics and educators interested in using different forms of audio-based communication
- creative educators using podcasting to reach communities beyond the educational institution
- podcasters wishing to use their skills professionally within education
- audio professionals working or keen to work in podcasting
We are inviting contributions themed around podcasting and education, with following themes and subject matter being of particular interest:
- Specific audio developments that have influences the podcasting space
- Historic or contextual developments of podcasting as a learning environment
- Standards, standardisation, and the controversy around RSS feeds
- Explorations of definitions and concepts and delineations (example: radio/ podcasting)
- Blended, Online, Mixed Mode, Digital: Educational environments, its pedagogical trends and how audio fits into this picture
- Discourses around the educational aspects of public vs private in the podcast space
- Explorations of issues related to intellectual property in educational podcasting
- Case studies of good practice
- Case studies in podcasting and community learning
- Case studies in discipline specific uses of podcasting in education (e.g. in Theatre, Music, Storytelling and Creative Writing, Forensic Science and True Crime, Philosophy, Journalism and Podcasting, Media Production, Audio, Music Technology and Music Production
Other podcasting & education themes will be considered.
