    • Documentary

This episode highlights some of the creative projects through SHELTER, and at Rutgers University and New Brunswick Theological Seminary, that are achieving local social impact by working in partnership with the community. These include art kits and workshop videos designed for houseless community members, an undergraduate media and journalism course that partners students with local community organizations and campaigns, and a resource-management game meant to teach students about economic vulnerability through role play.

Voices on this episode include Osimiri Sprowal, houseless youth advocate and artist, Dr. David Love, instructor for Media, Movements, and Community Engagement at Rutgers University’s School for Communications and Information, and theater director Mason Beggs.

What is home? What is homelessness? What is shelter? How do you shelter in place when you have no shelter? Shelter is a podcast series looking at housing insecurities in a time of pandemic and the role academic and religious institutions can play in partnering with the community to find solutions. SHELTER is hosted by Scott Gurian and Diana Molina, and edited by Colin Jager, Nathan Jéremie-Brink, Kristin O'Brassill-Kulfan, and Dan Swern. Theme music by Dave Seamon and Carlos Vasquez.
