Listen in, as Liv takes us through her podcasting journey, how she approaches myths, and the voices that she amplifies in the discussion of these myths.
This episode was recorded during a colloquium, entitled Presenting the Past: Responsible Engagement and Ancient Mediterranean History, hosted by Peopling the Past from March 23-25, 2023 in Vancouver, BC. The event was co-hosted by Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia. The goal of this colloquium was to ask how we as educators inside and outside the academy can more effectively participate in public discourse about the ancient Mediterranean. The event brought together academics, museum professionals, and public scholars who presented on the challenges and best practices for teaching and scholarship on the ancient Mediterranean. Specialists from the humanities and social sciences, including senior scholars, early career researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, and non-academic professionals, collaborated in discussions about cultural heritage, pedagogy, and public history for academic and non-academic audiences.
