Dangerous Play and the Block 19 Pistol (Crossover with Pop and Play)

Episode 6 of (Re)Search for Solutions takes a hard look at how in some cases, communities, especially communities of color, are harmed by efforts claiming to be in service of stopping gun violence. 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.

Episode 5: Security Studies and Guns

In 2018, the NRA tweeted, “Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane,” in response to a paper released by the American College of Physicians (ACP) about Reducing Firearm Injuries and Death in the United States. 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. Talk to us on Twitter using the hashtag #R4S!

Episode 4: This Is Our Lane (Re-release)

In Episode 3 of (Re)Search for Solutions, we discuss firearm suicide prevention. Firearm suicides make up about two-thirds of deaths by firearms, but suicide is sometimes downplayed in conversations about preventing gun violence. Sonali interviews Kerry Keyes, psychiatric epidemiologist at Columbia University, about her research on gun violence and suicide. Kerry also shares how suicide has affected her and her family. Sonali also talks with Doreen Marshall, Vice President of Programs at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention [AFSP] about their efforts to prevent firearm suicide and to support survivors of suicide loss. Visit AFSP.org for more resources and support. If you are in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline:  1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255).Special thanks to Kyle Oliver for help with mastering this episode.Talk to us on Twitter using the hashtag #R4S!Production Team: Azsaneé Truss, Joe Riina-Ferrie, Sonali Rajan, and Lalitha Vasudevan Editing: Joe Riina-Ferrie with the help of the (Re)Search for Solutions team Music: “Research Area” by Poitr Pacyna Website: ResearchforSolutions.comThe views expressed in this episode are solely those of the speaker to whom they are attributed.
