Aspen Ministers Forum: Madeleine Albright in Conversation with Jan Eliasson

East Harlem is an overlooked neighborhood of Manhattan, made vulnerable by structural racism and gentrification. But even before the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, the neighborhood had its own preparedness organization run by women of color who work and live there. Listen as Ann-Gel Palermo—an East Harlem resident, an associate professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and an Aspen Institute Health Innovators fellow—discusses preparing for disaster.

What America's Best Community Colleges Can Teach Us

For decades, Americans have been losing trust in democratic institutions, particularly media. In the news landscape, fact and opinion are getting blurred, falling revenues are shuttering newsrooms, and the public lives in “echo chambers” and can’t agree on facts. The Knight Commission on Trust, Media and Democracy believes distrust has reached crisis levels. The 27-member commission, created by the Aspen Institute Communications and Society program and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, drilled into why trust is declining and how it can be rebuilt. Their list of recommendations for media organizations, technology companies, and the public was released in early February 2019. In this episode, commissioners explain that it takes work from everyone to strengthen American democracy. Follow Aspen Insight on Facebook and Twitter using #AspenInsight.

Saving the High Seas

Religion is behind an increasing number of hate crimes in the United States and religious minorities, like Jews and Muslims, are often the target. An unlikely set of people are working to turn things around. A group of kids make up a Muslim youth choir, the first in the country, that performs at churches and synagogues in an effort to break down barriers. The Aspen Institute’s Justice and Society Program is also tackling the problem. An initiative called the Inclusive America Project has produced a report that addresses how the US can continue to embrace people of all faith backgrounds (like it’s done in the past) against a backdrop of deep polarization. Also, in this final episode of season one, we provide a peek into what's in store for season two of Aspen Insight.

Using Music to Tackle Hate

How can we create a more inclusive, just, and optimistic world? Mehrdad Baghai, co-founder of High Resolves, says it starts with young people. His organization, which was recently recognized by the John P. McNulty Foundation, works to reframe young people’s thinking around race and justice. “We can be as systematic about citizenship education as we are about core subjects,” says Baghai, “and given the state of the world, we have no choice but to do just that.” In Rwanda, a country that experienced genocide in 1994, art is being used to explore the trauma of conflict. Hope Azeda, also recognized by the McNulty Foundation, started the Ubumuntu Arts Festival. Held at a memorial site where 250,000 victims of the genocide are buried, Azeda says the goal is to use art as a tool for healing and dialogue. The John P. McNulty Foundation is a partner of the Aspen Institute. Show Notes Follow Aspen Insight on Facebook and Twitter using #AspenInsight.

Eradicating Intolerance

Rugged cowboys, high-noon gun fights, and Manifest Destiny—all images of the Old West in America. But what did the 19th century in the West really look like? Myths from books and movies shape our understanding of that time and place and even help define our values and culture. These stories often include violence, intolerance, and a stubborn individualism. How can we build a new more inclusive and compassionate vision of this period? This episode details the successes and failures of the 19th century American West and explains how this history can help us better tackle problems in society and in our lives. The interviews were held in Aspen, Colorado at “American West,” a program held by the Aspen Institute’s Society of Fellows.

The Old West: Reshaping the Myth

Uganda, in East Africa, has more startups than any other country in the world, but they’re driven by necessity. The number of young people searching for work dramatically exceeds the number of jobs available. When an entrepreneur does get a business running, it’s challenging to find funding, talent, and overcome a culture of informality where deals are made with a handshake. A group of entrepreneurs, investors, and nonprofits is looking to change the ecosystem to one that supports entrepreneurs. The goal: to lift people out of poverty.
