Archives aren't just quiet basements for old paperwork—they are living sites of power, public memory, and active writing. Today, we welcome Miami's new University Archivist (and former writing tutor!), Ani Karagianis, to discuss how archives shape institutional history, practical strategies for bringing archival research into classroom writing assignments, and a feature of our very own Roger and Joyce Howe Center for Writing Excellence Digital Collection.

If you'd like more information about the Miami University Archives check out their website, where they have access to digital archives, appointment bookings to tour the physical collection, and more!

It’s the end of an era! In this milestone episode, we’re saying goodbye to our founding producer and Season 1 host, Rena Perez, as she prepares for her next big chapter.

Rena has been the heart of the show since day one, and while we’re sad to see her go, we couldn't let her leave without a proper trip down memory lane. Join us as we look back at an exciting first season that took us deep behind the scenes of the work we do at the Howe Center for Writing Excellence.

In This Episode, We Revisit:

• Principles for Peer Review and Perspectives on EdTech with Kelli Rushek and Will Chesher
• Embracing ePortfolios with Beth Reed & Julie Szucs
• Ideate, Research, and Create: Processes for AI Partnerships with Dennis Cheatham
• The Value of Degree Programs in Professional Writing with Kerigan Moore and Cassell Presnell
• Opinions on Op-Eds with Jen Bulanda & Anne Whitesell

Rena, thank you for your vision, your voice, and for building this project from the ground up. You will be missed!

Stay tuned: We’ll be back soon with fresh voices and new insights for Season 2.
