In this two-part episode, we first talk with David Brown about his work as Executive Director of the Civic Coalition to Save Lives and efforts to reduce gun violence across Philadelphia, which declined by 41% from 2023 through 2024, but still has a long way to go. Prevention, intervention, and enforcement (PIE) are three pillars of violence prevention; these pillars require collaboration with communities. So how do those working to prevent gun violence engage with the community with intentionality and with respect? 

In part two, we talk with Dr. Jennifer Midberry, Associate Professor of Journalism in Klein College, about how she conducts research that addresses the ethics of journalistic coverage of gun violence. She will address her own research as well as talk about methods that rely on community members to understand issues of trauma and media coverage related to gun violence in a large urban setting. 

These episodes were originally conducted as a webinar sponsored by the Conflict Management Division of the Academy of Management as part of host Deborah Cai's work as a CM Division Scholar in Residence.
