Cal State Fullerton sociology graduate student Emily Pruitt has completed a five-episode podcast series for her master’s project titled, “Reconstructing power: Interviews with marginalized voices in local government.” Chris Gibson, associate professor of sociology, guided Pruitt in the creative, innovative and insightful project.
Pruitt skillfully used a range of sociological theories and also developed a variety of technical skills for audio production. She created a podcast that is both entertaining and thought-provoking for a wide audience.
In the podcast, Pruitt explores the ways settler colonialism shapes local governance, using her own personal journey and fascinating interviews. Together, Pruitt and her interviewees reimagine governance as a path toward justice.
Pruitt’s podcast is available on Spotify.
