About This Podcast

Welcome to PhDcast! I’m your host, creator, and PhD student, Alison Innes, and this ongoing podcast of indeterminate length will take you behind the scenes into my PhD research on podcasts, ethics, and knowledge mobilization. I’ll be using this podcast to reflect on my own podcasting experiences, to share my evolving thinking about podcasts, and to explore some of the ideas I’m encountering in my research. Think of it as a sort of notebook that invites you not only to snoop on my research, but to participate in it, too! -- Made in Canada on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples. -- Visit my website https://podcastologist.ca/contact to share your thoughts! I can also be found on Twitter at @InnesAlison or by email at [email protected] Learn more about this research project and how you can participate by visiting https://podcastologist.ca PhDcast is an ongoing project by Alison Innes, PhD student in Interdisciplinary Humanities at Brock University. This research project has been approved by the Research Ethics Board at Brock University, file #23-020-MAURO.
