Thanks to everyone who listened to Cut Pathways! Our special episode on artificial intelligence will be out last episode. Signing off, Katherine and Dave. ******** Cut Pathways, a podcast developed by Katherine Barbera and David Bernabo for the Oral History Program at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, showcases different pathways students and faculty take to navigate their experiences in higher education. This podcast draws on the Oral History Program’s growing archive of oral histories to take an honest look at higher education, exploring themes of culture, equality, and access to education, as well as catalytic points of personal growth, technological innovation, and creative development. Each recorded history is full of funny anecdotes, follies, triumphs, hidden connections, and, occasionally, in-the-moment realizations. Cut Pathways is hosted by Katherine Barbera and David Bernabo.
