How can this practice meet educational spaces of all kinds? In this episode from the series “Sounds of the Pandemic,” MASCLab member Shoshana Gottesman shares her composition of sounds from the pandemic submitted by members of the MASC Lab alongside the loops and samples of music producer and Teachers College doctoral student Chucky Kim. From there, Shoshana and Chucky explore together how this kind of co-creating through sampling, beatmaking, soundscapes, loops, remixes, and found sounds within music education is a way to facilitate creative moments within the framework of community especially during this time of pandemic.

We look at one of the most well-known examples of discriminatory policing, “Stop and Frisk,” and how these types of ineffective practices become legitimized. Sonali interviews Ekow Yankah, a Professor at the Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University, and Sarah Lustbader, a public defender in New York City, about criminal law and policing as they relate to gun violence. Iesha Sekou, the CEO and founder of Street Corner Resources, also paints a picture of the profound effects gun violence has on communities.

Increasingly, terrorist groups, and specifically white supremacist extremist terrorists, have been turning to guns as instruments of terror for attacks in the United States. Sonali sits down with Lou Klarevas, political scientist and author of Rampage Nation: Securing America from Mass Shootings, to talk about the intersection of gun violence and security studies. They discuss how and why most deadly terrorist attacks in the United States are now perpetrated using firearms. And she talks with Colin Clarke, a Senior Research Fellow at The Soufan Center about the rise of white supremacist extremist terrorism in particular. Finally, she talks with her sister, Anjana Rajan, who has worked on designing an approach to identifying and preventing attacks by white supremacist extremists using cryptography as a fellow at The Aspen Institute.

Soon after, medical professionals from around the country responded with their stories using the hashtag #ThisIsOurLane. Episode 4 of (Re)Search for Solutions reflects on the crucial role emergency medicine physicians, who are on the front lines of responding to firearm injuries, play in developing solutions. We spoke with Dr. Megan Ranney, an emergency physician and faculty at Brown University and co-founder of the AFFIRM Research collective. She tells us how AFFIRM includes the perspectives of more than 40,000 healthcare professionals, public health experts, and researchers to find ways to reduce gun violence. Additionally, Dr. Ameera Haamid, an emergency medicine physician at Cook County Hospital in Chicago and the Assistant Medical Director of the Chicago West EMS System, as well as Dr. Garth Walker, an emergency medicine physician at Jesse Brown Veteran Affairs Medical Hospital in Chicago and a health equity fellow with the Northwestern Emergency Department and Northwestern Buehler Center for health economics and policy, share their experiences treating gun violence victims.

Lalitha Vasudevan interviews our usual host, Sonali Rajan, Professor at Teachers College and the Mailman School of Public Health, about her work on how researchers can think of gun violence as an “adverse childhood experience.” Sonali talks with Danielle Kassow from Trauma Free NYC about ACEs and how schools can take a “trauma informed” approach to gun violence prevention.

It does so through a number of degree programs, centers, labs, and institutes spread out across a large, city-block campus in New York City. Its partnerships have national and global reach. MASCLab sat down with TC’s Tom Bailey just ahead of his inauguration as the school’s 11th President. We wanted to hear his thoughts on taking the helm of our longstanding institution at this time in our nation’s history. We spoke with President Bailey about—among other things—his vision for the college, the state of higher education, and his love of Chopin.

We recorded this conversation on November 5, 2018, one day before the closely watched 2018 midterm elections. Matt's message is clear: Vote, AND... Voting is a good step, an important step, but as he and others at the college urge, civic action must be, as Matt puts it, quotidian and not merely episodic. So give it a listen and get inspired to VOTE, and... contact your representative, take part in local activities, use social media for public good, and build coalitions to have your voice - verbal and otherwise - find audiences across platforms.
