dc.description.abstractThrough a method and the theory of phenomenology, the author seeks an understanding about the role of design in the Canadian campus radio environment, where broadcasting spaces and radio stations contribute to meaning of belonging for campus radio people. In a real-world research approach that transcends disciplinary boundaries, the everyday experiences, practices, and perceptions of people who access campus stations and shape broadcasting spaces is investigated. Case study procedures are carried out across the campus radio network as well as with two embedded cases that the author has had personal involvement with as a radio volunteer —CJSW in Calgary, Alberta, and CHMA in Sackville, New Brunswick. This dynamic contributes to the ‘bracketing’ of knowledge and is also considered as evidence of the phenomena. Throughout, genius loci and environmental design play a central role in a theoretical model called Ethereal Place, where ‘being’ and ‘becoming’ is analyzed as a meaningful spatial and cultural experience in the campus radio landscape. While weaving together in-depth current and historic findings, the author engages with over 150 participants collecting multiple place-based narratives. A final phenomenological ‘narrative tapestry’ reveals synthetic values and a ‘sense of spirit’ about campus radio places that is also shared throughout the network. The author discusses what is unique about campus radio places in Canada—the campus radio station is a community gathering nexus which manifests as meaningful in the broadcasting space. In conclusion, the role of design in the campus station and broadcasting space is argued as significant for place-based resiliency within contextual sustainability parameters for the future development of campus radio in Canada.en_US
