In my Humanities seminar, the students read a book. I’m guessing that won’t make a New York Post headline: BRANDEIS STUDENTS READ BOOK – but bear with me for a moment. The book was The Education of Henry Adams by – you guessed it – Henry Adams, who was born in 1838 and died in 1918, just at the end of the First World War. Although Adams circulated copies of the manuscript to his friends in 1907, the book was not actually published until six months after his death, winning him a posthumous Pulitzer Prize. Indeed, the prestigious Modern Library voted it the number one non-fiction book of the twentieth century.

On April 27, Swedish pop star Zara Larsson graced the Brandeis community with an incredible and colorful performance for the annual Springfest celebration. Larsson, who has recently reached newfound stardom after the release of her latest album “Midnight Sun,” has created a bubbly pop-princess persona that has helped her maintain her relevance and continued growth as an artist. Larsson’s style embraces the “dolphin-sunset” meme that brought her back to mainstream pop culture in 2024. Her performance style has been inspired by the meme’s format but has grown into a distinct brand of glitter, vivid colors, spraypainted t-shirts and different variations of swimsuit and swimsuit coverup inspired skirts. All of her outfits are detailed with a variation of rhinestones, hibiscus patterns and colorful eye makeup to create a singular aesthetic that screams summer. In our current political and economic environment, fashion might seem like it should be an afterthought — but this is far from the truth. Fashion presents an opportunity for self-expression and creativity. Larsson’s bright Y2K Swedish summer branding is a prime example of how fashion can change our perceptions of each other and inspire us to take risks.

Perhaps the most polarizing topic of late has been the use of artificial intelligence in art. For example, “The Brutalist,” a major contender at the 2025 Oscars, faced controversy over its use of AI to enhance Adrian Brody and Felicity Jones Hungarian dialogue. This writer argues that the use of any AI in the arts is categorically oxymoronic to its very existence — art is the soul of humanity, the human expression of life, and the distinguishing factor between human and animal. Using AI to create art in any form may seem appealing — skipping the toil to enjoy the reward of creating something at all is tantalizing. However, one could argue that learning to love the work is what separates the average artist from the great artist. Steve Jobs said it best: “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” This sentiment seems to be growing concerningly irrelevant. Quick fixes, brief summaries and reductive reasoning abound, and the value of going through tedious and unpleasant tasks for the sake of achieving the result has become undermined in the process.

Getting your Bachelor’s degree is no small accomplishment, and this editorial board would like to take a moment to recognize all of the hard work our senior class has put into their time at Brandeis. This May, we also say goodbye to another round of lovely editors that have poured so much love and time into The Justice. Our newspaper wouldn’t be the same without any of you! We’d like to remember the role each senior has played in making The Justice what it is today.

Senate Resolution No.4

Brandeis sports. It seems to be common knowledge, or rather, public perception, that saying these two words next to each other are oxymoronic. Our University has typically been known for the quality of their academics over their sports, and the student body tends to enforce that notion. That being said, The Justice Editorial Board believes that Brandeis sports are currently undergoing a renaissance, and we want to encourage the student body to recognize the work our athletes and coaches put in to compete with other schools.

One of Brandeis’ star initiatives is the Abraham Feinberg Educational Network for Active Civic Transformation, or ENACT network. ENACT endeavors to motivate students towards civic engagement through connections with policymakers, opportunities for research and collaboration. VoteDeis, as a student coalition within the ENACT network, often hosts events in collaboration with ENACT, the most recent of which was a collaboration with Peace Club. The event consisted of a brief lecture from Brandeis professor Daniel Kryder (POL) and a small workshop where attendees had the opportunity to draft and send letters to their local legislators. Student organizations like VoteDeis, as well as university-supported networks like ENACT, are a wonderful example of how individual expressions of liberty lead to measurable change — for example, ENACT’s student advocacy and research fellows' research on period insecurity led to the implementation of free menstrual product dispensers in every campus building and residence hall. In an age when expressions of individual and cultural liberty are actively being threatened, organizations like ENACT and VoteDeis are among countless nationwide organizations that fight for the voices of students and individuals to be heard and serve as inspiration for individuals and communities alike to mobilize in the name of change.

Class registration can be a tumultuous if not frightening time for the Brandeis student body. Deciding on a semester schedule while balancing major and minor requirements can be a challenge for anyone interacting with the registrar, prepared or not. Given the mounting stress prior to class registration day, The Justice’s Editorial Board wishes to recommend some classes we have taken that may fly under the radar come fall registration.

The National Basketball Association playoffs officially kicked off this year on April 18, marking the most exciting time to be a basketball fan. Given Brandeis’ proximity to Boston, it’s hard not to get swept up in the excitement of the NBA postseason, especially when it’s with a historic franchise like the Boston Celtics. It’s not often that the whirlwind of Boston sports culture makes its way to our university, which is why The Justice Editorial Board would like to thank Brandeis University for bringing Celtics star and reigning Sixth Man of the Year, Payton Pritchard, to campus.

Law School is Becoming a Luxury Good. Universities Must Support Students

Your location data is being sold, and most people have no idea. Carrying your phone means apps can track where you sleep, work, worship and seek healthcare. That information can then be packaged and sold to third parties. Massachusetts has a chance to stop this practice through the Location Shield Act, and lawmakers should act now.

In the final days of 2025, the internet was flooded with nostalgia for the final years before the 2020s. Among the end-of-year recaps and New Year’s resolutions, people posted montages soundtracked by the pop-EDM hits of 10 years ago, declaring 2026 to be “the new 2016.”

East isn’t that bad

Brandeis’ over 200 student-run clubs and organizations are pivotal to the Brandeis experience for many students on campus, providing a sense of community and a connection to one’s culture. They also plan countless events for students to take part in. Currently, many clubs are experiencing issues regarding registering events on Campus Groups, specifically with how far in advance clubs must register events. This editorial board chose not to name specific clubs to use as examples for these issues in order to protect their privacy.

At some point in life, we humans indubitably accept things as facts. Believing is seeing, seeing is believing. Humans take many things we see for granted; the sky is blue, grass is green, kittens drink milk. Horses follow this. Throughout childhood, many children are exposed to countless tales of horses in literature and film and often in person on farms. While I unfortunately have to admit that horses do exist as a biological entity, our perception of them is generally far more shaped by culture, media and collective belief rather than direct first-hand experience. The belief in horses as a complete being that is “real” reveals limits of human perception, considering that what we experience is not reality itself but rather a constructed version shaped by the brain and culture.

Reality television really is everywhere now. People can’t stop talking — or arguing — about dating shows, survival games or a bunch of strangers locked in a house. They say they’re depicting “real life,” but come on, we all know it’s mostly for show. These programs don’t just highlight real relationships — they twist them, sometimes making us see them in a bizarre way that feels a million miles from honest. You always hear about how “authentic” it all is, claiming to show raw emotion and real people. Behind the curtain, however, producers curate who gets screen time. Everything gets set up in advance, and then hours of footage get chopped into an hour-long “story” guaranteed to pull you in with love triangles, fights and wild turning points. You’re not seeing reality. You’re watching a carefully curated, drama-filled highlight reel.
