Big Idea: Lessons from Season One of the Seed Field Podcast

With Season Two kicking off in just one week, the Seed Field Podcast team wanted to take a look back at some of the knowledge our guests shared in Season One. Over these twelve episodes, we had conversations with Antiochians representing all six of our campuses and across disciplines including education, mental health, environmental studies, leadership, and more. In this episode, host Jasper Nighthawk and producer Lauren Instenes play their favorite clips, ranging from advice for navigating mental health during a pandemic to how to decolonize our communities and workplaces. We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane—and don’t forget to join us next week for the start of Season Two!

Reflect, Act, Repeat. How Cycles of Inquiry Help Us Challenge Dominant Narratives

Mapmaking? Birdwatching? Political activism? Dr. Sue Woehrlin sees in each of these activities the importance of narrative—and she teaches her students to see and master these narratives. Stories are the way we make sense of the world, so it’s important for us to understand the stories of our cultures, our communities, and ourselves. Dr. Woehrlin joins the Seed Field Podcast for the final episode of our first season to discuss ways of studying and questioning the stories around us. Through a fascinating conversation about maps, birds, and narrative, we explore ways that changemakers can take back control of the stories being told, reimagining the world, and work to make it more just.
