To remix is to rewrite, recombine, reproduce. This community engagement class explores connections between sound, listening, and the wicked problem of gun violence. The class uses sound and listening to take a deep dive into the historical roots of firearms in the United States and the structural violence that reverberates in shots fired. We will tackle questions like: what are the cultural forces behind gun violence and where are the opportunities for change? What does the law hear and not hear? What tools do students need to understand existing data around gun violence and what stories does that data not tell?  In exploring these and other questions and engaging in creative advocacy, student will directly engage with the Sound Justice LabLinks to an external site.. Course materials include archival documents housed in special collections, contemporary poetry, music, poetry, legal documents and academic articles. Students will have the opportunity to experiment with photo voice, audio storytelling and intentional playlists. The class has a civic engagement component that offers students opportunities to engage lawyers, artists, and social justice practitioners in Charlottesville and beyond to produce research and creative work. It also provides a space to respond to and engage current events through individual and collective art making. We will explore a variety of methods appropriate for use in community partnerships. Group projects will allow students to apply qualitative research and engagement techniques while contributing to a local planning question. The class can be used to fulfill the music major requirements, but musical or other artistic experience is not necessary.
