Global Playlist

Hi, welcome to the JOURN 567 global playlist project!  

For this assignment, students first compile a playlist that consists of 4 to 6 songs (with or without lyrics) that they think represent a global playlist. 

Then, students write a reflective essay that accompanies their playlist. The essay should delve deeper into their music choices, addressing all the questions below:

○      What is the guiding rationale behind the composition of my global playlist?

○      How does my playlist reflect my identity, values, and/or interests?

○      How has my music diet evolved? (For example, you can reframe this question as: if this playlist were done a year ago, it could have looked like…)

○      What changes, if any, do I want to make to my music choices moving forward?

Below, you will see a playlist from our 2025 spring class and some sample assignments. All these benefit from the input of our amazing students who cover a wide selection of world regions, music genres, languages, and topics. On the bottom, you will see pictures from our global playlist presentations and sharing party. Enjoy!
