I am an undergraduate student majoring in linguistics with a passion for the arts. My research interests vary from arts-based research to second language acquisition, but a common theme in my interests is human communication, both visual and spoken.

The Open Call Podcast

Abstract

The Open Call Podcast is a unique, cross-disciplinary project engaging in ongoing observational research. The podcast engages with contemporary artists and learns from their individual practices through the lens of a socially-distant and Covid impacted art world. To limit the media experienced by the audience, the podcast explores an unfamiliarly blind side of the art appreciation experience. This leads to exciting and informative research. The tactics and methods for this project are a prime example of the breadth of research possibilities, particularly in an artistic research setting. The commonalities shared by podcast guests add to the intrigue and relevance of the podcast for all listeners, regardless of their standing in the art world.
