Oral History in the Liberal Arts Fellow and WYSO Miller Fellow: Mary Evans ’21 at OHLA and WYSO in Yellow Springs, Ohio

Developing platforms and holding space is something that is very important to me. I know first hand what not having a voice feels like. Since being at Antioch, I decided to start two websites. My first website focuses on stories of incarceration and reintegration.

My second website focuses on life experiences at Antioch and in general. My first co-op at  brought so many opportunities. From co-hosting a podcast, to building a work relationship post co-op. For this I am truly blessed.

While working at WYSO as the 2018 Miller Fellow, I was able to take on different interview topics and make the most out of my Co-host Position on the Antioch Word podcast at WYSO.

Every encounter brought on an informative journey. In this interview, Emily Foubert, who volunteers at Glen Helen, discusses her love for birds and programs offered to the community at The Glen.

I am now co-oping at Oral History in the Liberal Arts (OHLA). I am the Digital Archivist Coordinator. OHLA’s is a faculty collective working to animate teaching and learning through community-based inquiry. I get to collect content and data, hard code it on the back end of the OHLA website, and manage the projects along with the social media platforms OHLA uses. I am in my first month at this job and I absolutely love it.

Every co-op I go on correlates to my major. I plan to graduate with a BA in Media Arts and focus in on Website Development and Digital Marketing. By running two websites while ultimately managing the OHLA website, I am shaping myself for the fast paced world of Website and Social Media Management.

This winter, I decided to keep a storymap journal. Click here to view.

 

A Day At WYSO: Mary Evans ’20 at WYSO in Yellow Springs, Ohio

Sep 20, 2018
 

While working at WYSO Radio Station as the 2018 Miller Fellow, I have been able to take on different interview topics and make the most out of my co-host position on the Antioch Word podcast. The mission of WYSO is to give voice to our community, our nation, and our world with independent news, music, and storytelling. There, I get to do what I love: talk to people and learn about different cultures.

No day at work for me is the same, but I regularly get to use Adobe Audition and Hindenberg to edit the audio tracks I collect, and I conduct interviews with awesome people from the Antioch College community. Right now, I am focusing on intersectionality, activism, and community building. Those interested can find some episodes discussing these issues in the Media Library.

Every encounter I have on Antioch Word brings an informative journey. In one interview, Emily Foubert, a volunteer at The Glen, discusses her love for birds and programs offered at the nature preserve. Listen to a clip below or read the article and listen to the full interview here. 

Being able to do something I enjoy while getting paid is a first for me. This experience has cemented my belief that this profession complements my interest in anthropology and activism.
