HSA PODCAST: A PIECE OF WORK
Released in February 2020 to showcase student research and initiatives, A Piece of Work brings the life of history to you, at any time, wherever you are. Each episode of A Piece of Work delves into “overlooked” moments in history: from studying the experiences of violence amongst gay men in the inter-war period to the multi-religious relations of Al-Andalus, contextualizing the hidden yet significant events of the past is what this podcast does best.
Created and produced by our current VP Communications Lis Riveros and former VP Communications Arielle De Leon, the six episodes of this season remind us that we must heed the past as we consider what it means to live in the present. You can listen to the first season below on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Anchor, or Google Podcasts.
