Bc Studies is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal that publishes regional scholarly work in print, audio, and multimedia formats. Together we reflect on how BC Studies became a space for alternative forms of scholarship, and the ways in which the journal continues to push the boundaries of what it means to publish alongside questions of decoloniality, regional-based work, and of course, sound-based scholarship.Full episode transcript available at amplifypodcastnetwork.caGuest Bios:Paige Raibmon is the the editor of BC Studies: The British Columbia Quarterly.
