OH:SS S01E01: A Conversation with Brianne Machan, Third-Year History Student

In our inaugural episode of Office Hours: Student Spotlight Madison asks Brianne Machan about several different projects that she’s been involved in. The number and variety of these extracurricular, experiential learning opportunities speak not only to Brianne’s passion for history, archives, and research, but also the many possibilities available to students at Huron University who are willing to “make opportunities” come their way, as Brianne put it. She notes how conversations have a way of building into opportunities and as an example points out how her letterpress position started with volunteering to be a residence ambassador.

What does deviance theory have to do with the literature of early Christianity? What’s Q—no, not the far-right political movement, QAnon, or Q from the James Bond movies … . “Q,” as in Quelle, or Logienquelle—and what does it have to do with the synoptic problem? What’s the value of independent, undergraduate research to contemporary liberal arts education? How does one balance research, teaching, and administrative duties?

Tune in and listen to the conversation between Madison and Dr Dan Smith to get his thoughts on these topics and, in the process, learn more about Huron’s new Vice President, Academic!
