Boston’s sustainable student fashion designers
(02/04/25 11:00am)
Knora’s hands are soft. With nimble fingers she knits from a spool of copper wire, manipulating it as a spider spins a gauzy web. The knit copper forms the bodice of the dress. The skirt and bust are lined with dried oranges. Once a delicate citrus, the produce has been transformed into a collection of unyielding, shell-like discs. They sit layered in a collage that appears impenetrable. A metal made malleable; a raw fruit made hard — these elements interplay in a way that conjures thoughts of vulnerability and consumption for Knora.

(02/04/25 11:00am)
While the Pro Bowl provided some fun for many National Football League fans, it was ultimately a filler week gearing up to what is regarded as the highly anticipated finale of the season: the Super Bowl. The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs have both experienced dominant seasons, but only one squad can reach the pinnacle of the sport. The Chiefs are vying for the unprecedented feat of achieving a three-peat — three consecutive Super Bowl wins — while the Eagles are attempting to win their second-ever Super Bowl for their rabid fanbase, which would be their first since 2017. Let’s focus in on the strengths and weaknesses of these squads and the key factors that may determine who enjoys the opportunity to lift up that Super Bowl trophy next Sunday.

(01/28/25 11:00am)
Porsha Olayiwola grew up spending her weekends at her downtown Chicago Library. Every day after school she and her friends would go to Barnes & Noble and read. Her love of literature ignited an interest in writing, so it is no surprise that she became a poet and educator. The current Boston Poet laureate has been navigating the literary world as a consumer, creative and writer for years. Now, she is writing a new chapter as the co-owner of a new bookstore.
Judges in Action: Toby Harris
(12/03/24 11:00am)
Toby Harris ’25 comes from a family of basketball players — his sister plays college basketball at Hamilton College and his father, who played college basketball for the University of California, Davis, is a high school coach in his home state of North Carolina. After fifteen years of growing up in and around the sport, Harris easily associates the word “team” with the word “family.”
Boston Bruins season preview
(12/03/24 11:00am)
As of Nov. 29, 2024, the Boston Bruins are the fourth seed in the Atlantic Division, holding a record of 11-11-3. Since winning the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals, the Bruins have been trying to recapture their championship glory. Despite strong regular season performances and even setting a National Hockey League record for most regular season wins in the 2022-2023 season, the Bruins have been stumped by mediocrity when it comes to postseason success. Fans might be in for much of the same disappointment as the Bruins’ start to the 2024-2025 season has been subpar.
Faux lawns, real consequences
(12/03/24 11:00am)
We’ve all seen them — at elementary schools, football fields, playgrounds, even right outside our neighbors’ houses. But, location aside, what is it that all artificial lawns have in common? The answer, unfortunately, is the carcinogenic harm posed to both people and the real ecosystems replaced by these plastic excuses for nature. Few people recognize that replacing nature with human-made forgeries is rarely a harmless pursuit; in fact, it wasn’t until my own mother called me, in tears over the artificial lawn installed by our next door neighbors, that I realized the gravity of the situation for myself. Artificial turf symbolizes a shift away from natural, sustainable solutions in favor of synthetic alternatives that often prioritize convenience over environmental health; this choice aligns with a broader pattern of unsustainable consumption and resource extraction, which are both key drivers of the climate crisis.

Recapping Week 10 of the National Football League season
(11/12/24 11:00am)
Week 10 of the National Football League was a particularly exciting one for lovers of nail-biting contests, as eight of the 13 matchups this past week featured final scores with a separation of five points or fewer between winner and loser. Games like this showcase highly entertaining finishes where the best players have the opportunity to exhibit their “clutch gene,” leading their squads to hard-fought victories. Some flourished in these high pressure moments while others struggled under the bright lights.
My frustrations with the college experience
(11/12/24 11:00am)
In our time, we are urged to attend university for the so-called “college experience.” A concept so nebulous, abstract and utterly drenched in middle-class euphemisms that it lulls budding students into accepting the ridiculous notion that it is perfectly reasonable to drop a sum equivalent to that of a new car every year on an “experience.”
Closing the Office of Sustainability was a mistake — it's time to fix it
(11/12/24 11:00am)
After a lengthy search to replace Brandeis’ former Director of Sustainability, Mary Fischer, Brandeis’ administration decided not to proceed with hiring a successor and shuttered the Office of Sustainability over the summer of 2024. The administration justified its decision by stating that it was a necessary cost-saving measure, considering Brandeis’ financial difficulties. However, in the context of severe flooding, hurricanes, droughts and natural disasters increasing in frequency due to the climate crisis, the administration’s decision couldn’t have come at a worse time.
