The Sounds of BC Studies Past and Present

Ep. 16
•

Amplified is an audio blog series about the sounds of scholarship from our team here at the Amplify Podcast Network. This month on Amplified, we're featuring BC Studies: The British Columbian Quarterly in conversation with Editor Paige Raibmon and Soundworks Editor Jenni Shine. 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.

Guest Bios:

Paige Raibmon is the the editor of BC Studies: The British Columbia Quarterly. A Professor in the Department of History at University of British Columbia (UBC), their research engages a range of questions united by my preoccupation with Indigenous peoples’ endurance and resurgence in the face of settler colonialism’s historical workings and on-going implications.


Jenni Schine is the SoundWorks Associate Editor of the BC Studies Journal, As a sound artist, Jenni's hope is to make art that is ecologically accountable and builds relationships in a reciprocal manner. A big fan of public engagement, she has extended her work into art installations, film, radio, and soundscape compositions. Jenni grew up in the traditional territories of the  xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, where she currently lives.
