With current socioeconomic factors like poverty, unemployment, and social exclusion affecting citizens with a drug problem creating drug related criminal activity.

Doryan Cole - “Listening for Clues: Correlational Study on Mental Health and Musical Experiences Survey” (poster session) This study investigates the intricate relationship between music, mental health, and personal identity, particularly focusing on young adults. Music serves as a universal language, facilitating emotional expression, self- regulation, and interpersonal connection. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, this study examines how exposure to different musical experiences influences psychological states, highlighting the nuanced effects on emotional well-being. It also explores the concept of musical self-regulation, where individuals actively use music to cope with stressors and regulate emotions. The study focuses on how music might help regulate mood, especially under stressful situations. Music serves as a dynamic medium, allowing people affected by stress to express their emotions. Understanding this dynamic highlights music’s therapeutic potential. The inquiry is around the recognition of individuals as active agents in their musical experiences. It investigates how listeners interpret and interact with music, which influences their identities, psychological well-being, and social behavior.
Doryan Cole - “Perceptions of Meagerness: How Violence and Lack Affect Personal Infrastructure” (session 7) In Kiese Laymon’s 2018 memoir Heavy, the connected perceptions of violence and a lack of adequate resources within ethnic/cultural backgrounds in America contribute to the formation of an unstable personal infrastructure. By this I mean what is affecting or belonging to someone’s emotional or physical being. In this project I argue that Laymon’s subjective experiences in the memoir shed light on the complexities of navigating life amidst these challenges and demonstrate how confronting and transcending these obstacles can ultimately support and illuminate autonomy, providing profound insights into the resilience and agency of individuals in marginalized communities.
