University of Northern Iowa Professor Jayme Renfro teaches redlining in her senior public administration seminar and usually includes a related project in the class. This year, her class will be planting trees in redlined areas of Waterloo in an effort to incorporate nature in places that were historically neglected.
In this episode, host Charity Nebbe talks with Renfro about the project, along with two students involved in the effort.
Then, we listen to a conversation IPR's Samantha McIntosh had with singer-songwriter Caroline Rose, an artist whose 2023 album, The Art of Forgetting, was nominated for a Grammy for Best Recording Package. Rose will perform at the Englert Theatre in Iowa City April 23.

- Jayme Renfro, associate professor of political science, University of Northern Iowa
- Faith Larsen, junior in political science and public administration, University of Northern Iowa
- Serenity Kollasch, senior in political science, University of Northern Iowa
- Caroline Rose, singer, songwriter
