In our third session, we will explore the exciting world of podcasts as Public History formats and the unique opportunities and challenges they offer for Queer and Trans* History. As usual, we’ll meet on Friday, 23.05.2025, from 10:15–12:15 (c.t.) in Room A184, Koserstraße 20. In the first half, we’ll introduce the use of podcasts in Public History, discuss their potential for Queer and Trans* History, and welcome our guest lecturer, Jan Gottfried Esser. We’ll also look ahead to our plan to produce a podcast episode on the students’ projects and working process in Session 7. In the second half, we’ll focus on project work, check-ins and share where each group is.
For preparation, please listen to two podcast episodes and take notes and prepare questions.
We look forward to an inspiring session with you!
