Students in the Social World of the Arts class have been working all semester to understand the fields ofcreation, production and reception in a broad range of art worlds. After completing the semester’s readings, quizzes and writing memos, we went to the Brave Wilderness headquarters and hosted Coyote Peterson and Brave Wilderness COO Beau Sedivy to apply course knowledge to the case of Brave Wilderness.
Coyote Peterson is an Ohio State graduate who built his own interdisciplinary major in Film Production while in school. He is now the host of the Brave Wilderness YouTube Channel, where he shares educational and engaging programming about animals and conservation. His message has really struck a chord with his audience — Brave Wilderness reached 20 million subscribers on YouTube this year, and Peterson was recently nominated for an Emmy Award for his work as host of the channel.
