Following catastrophic damage to the Amazon rainforest caused by an ongoing series of fires, the Brazillian government rejected $20 million pledged by the international community at the G7 Summit, alleging imperialistic ulterior motives on the part of French President Emmanuel Macron. However, Bolsonaro’s administration later stated that they would accept the aid, on the condition that the French President Emmanuel Macron apologize for his comments regarding Bolsonaro’s behavior and what appeared to be a disrespectful potshot at Macron’s wife. Furthermore, numerous environmental scientists and indigenous people have alleged that the cattle industry is starting the fires to clear land with Bolsonaro’s support, raising questions as to whether the President even cares about the rainforest and the people and wildlife living within it. Faced with this cataclysmic destruction, how should we view Brazil’s delayed response and this political back-and-forth between world leaders? What do you think these actions mean for the rainforest, and how might they affect global conservation and environmental protection movements?

Orientation is centered around welcoming incoming students to Brandeis, but for many current students, being an Orientation Leader is just as thrilling as beginning college. The Justice reached out to some of these OLs to give our readers a view into what their job is like and how these students shape our community. Here are some of those responses:

There are a lot of outdoor activities that get students excited about an upcoming summer break — swimming, going to the beach, hiking and summery sports like volleyball and tennis. I’m definitely an odd one out when it comes to my favorite summer activity: watching Shakespeare under the stars. It doesn’t feel like summer has arrived yet if I haven’t found a local theatre troupe putting on one of the Bard’s plays in a park, field or open-air theater. Since I was taking classes here at Brandeis during the summer, I knew I had to make a trip out to Boston to see the Commonwealth Shakespeare Company’s performance on the Boston Common.

The buzz of the A-16 highway keeps the travelers awake amidst the deadly silence of the Tarapaca desert. Just over 33 miles east of Iquique, Chile, the ruins of the Humberstone and Santa Laura Saltpeter Works succumb to the heat and oblivion of a brutal past.

As the race for the Democratic presidential nomination continues to heat up, all eyes turned to the second and final debate before the qualification threshold is raised. Because of this steep increase in the qualification requirements, many expected that this would be a last stand of sorts for many campaigns, with a handful of candidates likely to make last minute appeals in an attempt to qualify for the September debate. Furthermore, a number of different storylines emerged after each candidate was divided into one of the two nights, including but not limited to speculation over whether the two foremost progressives in the race, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, would go after one another, and what would happen in the second meeting between California Senator Kamala Harris and former Vice President Joe Biden after she went after him with conviction in the first debate.

With the first democratic primary debates behind us, each candidate will be pressing to spin their performance favorably, no matter how middling, lackluster or even self-evidently superb their performance may have been. Now that the campaign is underway and candidates are being scrutinized by voters and moderators alike, I will be sharing my own post-debate takeaways. The ranking system is based on who did the most to improve their chances and — especially for the lesser known candidates — get their name out.

In two identical presentations on May 1, Mark Neustadt of Neustadt Creative Marketing unveiled Brandeis’ new brand platform.

Every year, approximately 1,000 to 1,200 alumni and their families return to the Brandeis campus to reminisce and reconnect with this special institution they once called and still call home.

This past Friday, I stepped out of the cold winds of nature and into the warmly lit room displaying “Nature,” a themed collection of outfits and garments curated by four members of the Fashion Design Club. In addition to nature-inspired outfits ranging from cozy to chic to avant-garde, the room was tastefully set up with a backdrop inspired by those found on the red carpet, a quilt square designing station and a table with light food and refreshments. Club president Tyffany English ’19 led us around the room located on the third floor of the Shapiro Campus Center, explaining who designed each piece and how each piece was inspired by nature.

As expected, when I went to see “Gloria Bell,” directed by Sebastián Lelio, the theater was entirely empty — a sharp contrast to the sold-out “Avengers: Endgame” showings just across the hall. However, I still had high hopes for the underdog. The film’s two leading cast members, Julianne Moore and John Turturro, have been acting for nearly three decades, with more than enough proof of their talent with films like Moore’s “Boogie Night” and Turturro’s “Barton Fink”. Lelio’s previous film, “A Fantastic Woman,” was also well-acclaimed. “Gloria Bell” follows the titular character, a middle-aged divorcee who wants to rediscover her life while encountering an unexpected romance with Arnold, someone who shares a similar experience with her.

This years Adagio Dance Company spring show was titled “Dancing with the Stars,” showcasing talent that was enough to blast anyone watching into space.
