Former college radio participant Lindsy Goldberg is doing an interesting graduate school project about college radio and community. On her College Radio Community Storytelling site, she is seeking hand-written stories from current and former college radio folks.
Goldberg writes, “I am seeking handwritten stories from anyone who has ever been a member of a college radio community (this can include faculty advisors and community members) and has been impacted in some way by that experience,” adding, “I will be analyzing the letters for common themes and writing about them in an academic context of participatory culture and the impact of community media on engagement, but more importantly I will be creating a final installation of the letters. Depending on the responses, this may be a well-documented physical art installation in Boston or a physical book I will self-publish over the summer.”
I can’t wait to see the results of Goldberg’s project, particularly since I am a big fan of personal writing AND of college radio. Perhaps some of you will drop her a line…
