Reginold Royston on Podcasts and the Study of Africa

BCNM alum Dr. Reginold Royston was a featured panelist in "Podcasts and the Study of Africa: A Digital Technology’s Impact on Research, Teaching, and Public Engagement". This event was originally presented as part of the African Studies Association’s Annual Conference in October of 2020.

Podcasting is a popular aural genre that brings into sharp relief multiple ways in which digital technology is transforming the study of Africa. This interdisciplinary roundtable examined the evolving relationship between academic podcasting and scholarly communication, professional development, circulation of knowledge, and student learning. The roundtable featured three Africa podcast hosts and Reginold Royston as an expert on African/diasporic digital cultures.
