At the end of class today, I promised that we would push Wednesday’s previously scheduled agenda back in order to reserve class time to work on our group projects. I would, however, like you to prep this brief Op-Ed by Shamus Khan, as it will be very relevant to our discussion next week of Stoever’s essay, ‘Crate Digging Begins at Home’.
Prep
- Shamus Khan, ‘The New Elitists’, New York Times (7 July 2012)
In Class
- Review: Class Participation Self-Evaluation Essay
- Founding Fathers (Slight Return): The Roots of Rapping
- Small Group Huddles/Attendance

- Audio: Your ‘Home Soundscape’, The Brian Lehrer Show (5 October 2022). Kathryn Jezer-Morton, writer of The Cut’s Brooding newsletter, joins to discuss her latest newsletter about music in the home and how it can be used to expand a sense of belonging, and takes listener calls on what they play in their homes.
