The MacArthur Foundation just announced its newest class of fellows for 2022. Colloquially known as the MacArthur ‘Geniuses’, each class is meant to include some of the brightest minds across multiple disciplines. This year, the cohort is made up of authors, filmmakers, digital archivists, scientists, scholars and more.

Jennifer Carlson is a sociologist and author "Policing the Second Amendment: Guns, Law Enforcement, and the Politics of Race." She joined The Takeaway to discuss her work studying gun culture and gun violence, and what it was like to win the 2022 MacArthur Genius Prize.
