Returning to Brandeis: our lives resume but our traumas persist

by Abigail Cumberbatch | 09/14/2021

I thought I would be happy to return to Brandeis this fall. But as I drove to Theater Lot to check in and collect my dorm keys, the sinking feeling I had been experiencing all summer intensified. As the Department of Community Living student workers ushered cars through Theater Lot, many of them excited to see friends after a year and a half of virtual learning, I was caught in a state of disbelief. I kept thinking to myself, “Wow, this is happening. Everything is in person again, with limited to no restrictions.” The reality of living on campus during a pandemic hit me as one of the DCL staff members handed me my room key and informed me that if I did not get tested by 4 pm, I would have to quarantine myself for two days, whether or not I tested positive for COVID-19. 

The sciences at Brandeis: action and accountability deferred

by Fox Baudelaire , Faria Afreen , Rabia Anjum and Anna Henkin | 09/14/2021

We are representatives of Anti-Racism Alliance in the Sciences (ARAS), a collective of current and former students that has operated since August 2020 to promote a culture of belonging and support in the Division of Science. We advocate for institutional changes that advance diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in many aspects of STEM higher education. We have learned that each department has since formed its own diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) committee. More than a year since our inception, we have observed that expressions of sympathy and mutual understanding have not yet been translated into progress.

Shang-Chi: Marvel’s response to Orientalism

by Mello Wilsted | 09/14/2021

“Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings” does not give the Asian actors supporting roles or extra roles. Instead, the movie takes its time fighting its cinematic predecessors and bringing Chinese culture squarely into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  

Brandeis’s 30th Book Forum: “Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness”

by Mello Wilsted | 08/31/2021

Instead of creating a highlight of the New Student Orientation, the Brandeis book forum does not live up to its advertised purpose. The book chosen should be more digestible, and the event should be held at a time when new students are not overloaded with other orientation events.
