Caffrey Discusses Connecting Through Music on With Good Reason

Last year, Senior Associate Registrar Kevin Caffrey developed and began teaching a first-year seminar entitled “You Have To Listen To This: Connecting Through Music” that studies the history of music consumption over the past 75 years, examines why we gravitate towards the music that we love, and considers the reasons why it’s important to share the music we love with others. He recently appeared on With Good Reason radio to discuss the course, how sharing the music we love can help foster empathetic listening skills, what he has learned thus far from teaching it, and, of course, share some tunes with the audience. Listen to the episode.
