[Dana Simmons]

Dear SEHE friends,

<https://insideucr.ucr.edu/stories/2025/08/25/professor-creates-nostalgic-vibes-air?utm_source=Inside+UCR+Weekly+Test&utm_campaign=a88b338c26-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2025_08_27_05_09&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-a88b338c26-94780336>
of SEHE faculty Jade Sasser, otherwise known as the host of Vibe Check on
KUCR radio station.
"A love song is never just a love song,” she said. “If you listen further,
there’s social commentary on the issues at the time. R&B artists have
talked about environmental injustice, pollution, toxic dumping, and
destroying the Earth. They’ve talked about politics, civil rights, social
injustice, and seeking better conditions for people of color. They’re
singing about love, but what they’re actually talking about are these
broader social issues.”
...“I’ve learned how the soundscapes we take for granted are so much more
important than we realize.”
Congrats, Jade!
Dana
