Dr. Pedro Noguera, Dean of the USC Rossier School of Education, talks to Leading Forward about the equity challenges the COVID-19 pandemic brought forth and how to engage students moving forward.

Most of us probably aren’t making an effort to hang out in public spaces lately, much less seeing them as playful – quite the opposite! But with a hopeful eye to the future, this week we’re joined by artist Reanne Estrada, Creative Director of Public Matters, a Los Angeles-based creative studio for civic engagement, and Benjamin Stokes, Assistant Professor at American University and Director of The Playful City Lab, to discuss the potential for – and benefits of – play in our public spaces. Reanne and Benjamin share thoughts on how we can use what we’ve experienced during this pandemic to reclaim and define new priorities for our shared public spaces. They consider ways we can expand equity in terms of access to public space and to opportunities for play in everyday life. They each identify ways communities can build the collective sense of power needed to make changes. We think about the affordances of play as a tactic for driving civic engagement, and acknowledge the ways play is already baked into our communities and the ways it has the potential to drive equity, even as it is not always available equitably.Visit the episode page for the full transcript of this conversation!Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Writer, Pulitzer Prize and the National Humanities Medal winner Isabel WilkersonWashington, DC:Push for statehoodBlack Lives Matter Plaza (and tensions between DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and President Trump)Push to Diversify Public MonumentsA Right to the City DC exhibition highlighting the successes of civic activismSome of the history of DC’s segregated baseball leaguesSome of Benjamin’s earlier research on online volunteeringPublic Matters projects in LA:University Park Slow Jams - traffic safety & mobility justiceMarket Makeovers - fruits & veggies parade costumes, east LA veggie zombiesThe Chicharrón Chronicles - Historic Filipinotown walking tours focusing on food, language and labor, with Gustavo ArellanoCommunity-based games for civic engagement:Commons - NYC - winner, Real-World Game for Change Challenge 2011Macon Money - Macon, GAThe Participation Game - Helsinki, FinlandPhoto: V-J Day in Times SquareModel Cities program in the US - role play for city officials - builds empathy for cause and effect systemsEric Gordon - Meaningful InefficienciesHenry was referring to the tiles featuring kids’ artwork at Davis Square MBTA stationReading up on historical town pageantsAOC's GOTV Twitch streamFor more thoughts on rituals, check out our episode with USC Dean of Religious Life Varun SoniShare your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!

Jim Burklo was my (Rabbi Brian’s) first interview because this USC Dean of Religious Life is the father of many congregations running their own “resistance bible studies.” I want to grow up to be like Jim Burklo. He is smart, funny, serious when he needs to be. And, he has a great big heart. The kind that just makes you think, "I want to love people like he does it."

Varun Soni is the Dean of Religious Life at the University of Southern California (USC) and the first Hindu to serve as the chief religious or spiritual leader of an American university.In a time where it feels like we have never been more divided, this conversation is about unity. It’s about empathy. It’s about diversity. It’s about curiosity and regard.There is so much to learn in this conversation.Varun has been personally impacted by some of the most influential thought leaders in history… Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, to name a few.As a leader (and I’m not throwing that term out there loosely) at the University of Southern California, Varun is deeply committed to helping students become, through embracing the tension between differences and commonalities.His goal is to run the office of religious life at USC as the office of the future – to envision what religion and spirituality is going to look like 10 years from now rather than what it looked like 10 years ago.In this conversation we talk about how to master the art of living – this includes the importance of asking yourself the right questions, redefining your metrics for success, and the importance of emotional intelligence.Varun also sheds light on some of the difficulties today’s college students face that previous generations may have thought inconceivable.
