For two decades, Kara Oehler has been leading groundbreaking work at the intersection of journalism, documentary art and technology. Her Peabody award-winning work has aired around the world on shows like Radiolab, Morning Edition and Reveal; been published in The New York Times Magazine; and exhibited at MoMA in New York.
Oehler is executive director of the Institute for Interspecies Sound & Society, a new center being incubated at metaLAB (at) Harvard and Freie Universität Berlin. This interdisciplinary community of practice will bring together sound-based scientists, journalists, scholars and media artists to expand research impact, build new research tools and decenter humans in public culture. Oehler has also built multiple institutions to further the field of documentary arts, including co-founding UnionDocs, one of North America’s leading centers for documentary arts; metaLAB (at) Harvard; Zeega; and Mapping Main Street, a collaborative project launched with NPR to document the 10,466 streets named Main Street in the United States.
Oehler co-led the reporting team and long-term care dataset at The COVID Tracking Project at The Atlantic.
