Scholarly Selection: Dr. Stephanie Yuhl
Professor Stephanie Yuhl, the Features Editor at an unspecified institution, has a rich and diverse taste in music that has been a constant companion throughout her life and academic career.
During her college days, she was a DJ, spinning tracks from a variety of artists such as Run DMC, Gap Band, General Public, LL Cool J, George Michael, Tracy Chapman, and Phil Collins. Songs like You Talk Too Much, You Dropped the Bomb on Me, Tenderness, Goin' Back to Cali, Faith, Fast Car, and Truly were her favourites.
As she navigated through graduate school, certain songs from the 1990s, like Groove is in the Heart (Deee-lite), Closer to Fine (Indigo Girls), Dreams (Cranberries), and Big Empty (Stone Temple Pilots), provided the soundtrack to her studies.
Fast forward to the present day, and her playlists have evolved to include artists like Bruno Mars, Vance Joy, Lil Nas X, and Snoop Dogg. Justin Timberlake's Sexy Back is a song she enjoys for pure fun.
When it comes to songs she would choose for repeated listening, Nina Simone's Feeling Good and Beyoncé's Hold Up (from Lemonade) stand out. If given the opportunity, she would opt for the entirety of Beyoncé's Lemonade album.
Professor Yuhl's musical preferences have evolved over time, but one thing that hasn't changed is her dislike for country and western music.
In her classes, she often starts the day with a song that connects with the daily content. Sam Cooke's Change Gonna Come, Nina Simone's Mississippi Goddam, The Revolution Will Not be Televised (Gil Scott Heron), Draft Dodger Blues (Phil Ochs), and Fortunate Son (Creedance Clearwater Revival) are some examples.
Despite her expertise in social movements and 20th-century US history, specific songs she uses in her Post-1945 US Social Movements class are not documented. However, it's worth noting that her academic focus could potentially involve relevant protest or social justice music, although no explicit list or examples have been found.
When it comes to her preferred music platform, Professor Yuhl is a Spotify user, with various playlists for different moods, including Indie Mix, Beyoncé/Britney/Justin Timberlake, Earth, Wind and Fire Funk Mix, among others.
Currently, she hasn't specified a favourite song, but she mentions a moment of country music dominance in her musical journey.
Professor Yuhl teaches courses such as Modern US Gender and Sexuality, US Social Movements, The Politics of Historical Memory, and 20-century US. Her academic department is History. However, specific details about her use of songs in class content or her preferred music platform beyond Spotify are not readily available.
