I once looked into the #CenterForDocumentaryStudies Continuing Ed program in a “hmmmm, could I? should I?” for a project I’d like to do. But the whole thing was postponed.

Here’s a story about the reorg and the meeting w board and staff: https://indyweek.com/news/durham/meeting-raises-more-questions-about-the-future-of-dukes-center-for-documentary-studies/

Meeting Raises More Questions About the Future of Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies

Emotions were high at the five-hour meeting, especially among the staff members who learned this week that they are being laid off.

I saw a Mar 6 post on other social media from #SceneOnRadio podcast host, John Biewen, saying that #DukeU’s #CenterForDocumentaryStudies is being reorganized, and as a result, he’s been let go.

A few years ago, I stumbled upon Scene On Radio podcasts season, #SeeingWhite. Early episodes (esp Ep3, “Made In America” on how “whiteness” was created) were eye opening and permanently changed my perspective.

Wishing John Biewen well & hope that he + others laid off end up in better places.
