EQ2 Audio Projects

Welcome to EQ2!

The podcasts posted here were created by members of Dr. Peters's EQ2 class. The projects are inspired by the New York Times podcast The Trojan Horse Affair. You can find it on your favorite podcast app or on the New York Times website: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/podcasts/trojan-horse-affair.html

Listen to The Trojan Horse Affair first (especially if you're concerned about spoilers!) or jump right in to these project, engaging issues such as anonymous reporting, mass shootings, propaganda, journalistic ethics, discrimination, and religion in public schools.

We hope you enjoy listening and ponder enduring questions along with us!

Dr. Peters
