Since the founding of The Justice newspaper in 1949, student journalists have worked diligently to cover topics that are important to the Brandeis and Waltham community. From our coverage of the 11 day sit-in for equity and inclusion at Ford Hall to the Brandeis workers protest, the paper has been a consistent and reliable source for students and community members to turn to. The production of the paper is not always easy; it requires dedication and mustering through the late nights of editing and revising. However, if you ask our staff they would say it’s worth it. To hold the final copy of the paper in our hands, to see people on campus flipping through every page is incredibly gratifying. Over the years, The Justice has received recognition from Columbia University’s journalism program, Change.org, the Boston Globe and more. It not only has been able to reach Brandeis but serve the general public as well.

Sanctions have become “the tool of choice” for the United States in the 21st century regarding foreign policy. The U.S. government first imposed sanctions, defined as commercial and financial restrictions applied against states, groups or individuals, on Iran in the early 1980s after the country was designated as a state sponsor of international terrorism. The U.S. has increased sanction usage worldwide by 900% in the last 24 years. Narges Bajoghli and Vali Nasr’s new book, “How Sanctions Work: Iran and the Impact of Economic Warfare,” published by the Stanford University Press in February., explains how these sanctions have “permanently changed” Iran. In an online seminar on Wednesday, March 13 hosted by Prof. Naghmeh Sohrabi (HIST), director for research at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies and the Charles Goodman Professor of Middle East History at Brandeis, the co-authors took attendees on a deep dive into how sanctions have historically affected Iran and how they will continue to shape Iranian policy.
