Media by DFI and Collaborators

DFI collaborates with Teachers College faculty to create and support the creation of media for use in pedagogy and research. Together we produce original podcasts and video series, support multimodal research, and provide trainings and resources to help faculty grow their use of media.

Podcast Series

DFI partners with Teachers College podcasters through the co-production of original series, partnership and training with campus collaborators, and access to audio production space and equipment at our Macy Studios podcasting station. Below are podcasts either co-produced or supported by DFI.

How's School

The truth is, we care about our young people, dare we say, even worry about them. But staying connected to their world and all the complexity they navigate can be a real challenge. The issues we look at include education, health, and psychology, but at the core is their well-being. And our ability to face things that impact them without losing heart.

(Re)Search for Solutions

(Re)Search for Solutions

Season 1 of the (Re)Search for Solutions podcast is a limited series focusing on unexpected and creative ways that researchers are looking at solutions to the persistence of gun violence. To develop these stories, we collaborate with the experts (professors, community members, doctors, activists, teachers, and more) to understand the stories surrounding their work.
