Opinions
femininity
A reality in fiction: the problem of representation
Oftentimes, rather than embracing femininity as part of who they are, these characters only retain traditionally masculine traits.
divestment
An open letter to all members of any university community
I strongly oppose the proposed divestment resolution. This resolution is nothing more than another ugly manifestation of antisemitism at the University.
graduation
Time unfortunately still a circle
Ever since the invention of the wheel, humanity’s been blessed with one terrible curse: the realization that all things are, in fact, cyclical.
Dinner for Peace
Dinner for Peace was an unconventional way of protesting for Palestine
The dinner showcased aspects of Palestinian culture. It was a unique way of protesting against the genocide, against the Israeli occupation, against the university’s involvement with the genocide.
criticism
Israel Week promotes nationalism within our Jewish life on campus
The purpose and effect of hosting an “Israel Week” is to distract from and distort the historical and contemporary realities of Israeli occupation and apartheid.
Debate
Banality in Search of Evil: The College Democrats and Republicans Debate
Far from a debate, it felt like I was witnessing a show trial.
first impressions
Making first impressions: Don’t get stuck in your head
Perhaps the only way to prevent yourself from sinking into that ocean of once-seen faces, to light a rescue beacon before it’s too late, is to do something remarkable.
culture
Notes by Nadia: What’s wrong with being a fan?
I wish that people would just mind their business and stop acting like being a fan of an artist is “weird.”
art
Art and creativity are in everything we do
Art is integrated into almost everything we do, whether we know it or not, influencing the ways in which we go about our day.
