At a lecture about Israel’s housing policies and architectural patterns on Thursday, April 20 in the Carl and Ruth Admissions Center, Prof. Yael Alweil spoke as a part of the Richard Saivetz ’69 Memorial Architecture lecture series. Alweil is an associate professor in the faculty of Architecture and Town Planning at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel. Her lecture, “Homeland Reconsidered: A History of Israel as a Housing Regime,” was about how housing has been Zionism’s key strategy for nation-state building, sovereignty, and expanding beyond borders.
Neither Astrid Schneider '23 nor Juliette Lillywhite '23 entered Brandeis as Studio Art majors — both found the program by means of pure exploration. “During my freshman year I took 'Drawing Under the Influence'. It was the only class I cared about,” said Schneider during an April 20 interview with the Justice in the Epstein art studios, as they prepared their work for their and Lillywhite’s upcoming exhibit “Dirt Shrine.”
Reaching the end of the grandeur of Renaissance Italian masters in the Raphael Room of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, one will find the Short Gallery. Amongst the various contemporary paintings displayed is a glowing portrait of Isabella Gardner in her trademark string of pearls. Portrayed in front of the renowned Venetian Grand Canal at night, the obscure background heightens the luminosity of Isabella in her white dress, which in turn accentuates her soft facial features, the dramatic effect of the flunging-open of the doors, and her elegant composure. The noticeable fireworks at a distance provides the spectators context to her excitement. The creator of this piece was Anders Leonard Zorn, a Swedish artist and friend of Gardner’s whom she remained in correspondence with until his death in 1920.
Brandeis students have been exercising in a gym filled with unsafe and broken equipment.
With only four teams left in the 2022-23 Union of European Football Associations Champions League campaign, there are many captivating storylines to discuss.

The other side features two teams from Milan fighting for the pride of the city on top of a spot in the final.
On Thursday, March 30, the Center for German and European Studies hosted its Beginning to End the Climate Crisis conference in honor of its 25th anniversary and in coordination with Brandeis’ Year of Climate Action in Sherman Function Hall.

When Evelyn DiFiore, a freshman at Lasell University, took a sustainability course two years ago, she fell in love with sustainable fashion. “I buy all of my clothes from local thrift stores or online resale stores like Depop,” she said.
With DreamWorks’ latest romp into the highly successful Shrek franchise came a movie that surely almost no one was expecting. “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” is a sequel that seemingly came out of nowhere, coming more than 11 years after the original “Puss in Boots,” which in and of itself is a rather unremarkable movie. So I, as well as many others, were under the assumption that this movie would be nothing more than a mediocre cash grab, or an attempt to garner interest in the potentially soon to be released “Shrek 5.” So when reviews for “The Last Wish” started coming back overwhelmingly positive, my interest was piqued. Now having seen the film I can say with confidence that this film is easily my favorite animated movie of 2022.
Throughout the 2023-2024 academic year, Brandeis will host a seminar titled “Imperiled Bodies: Slavery, Colonialism, Citizenship and The Logics of Gender-Based Violence.” The seminar aims to study the origins of gender-based violence in the Americas, Mexico, Jamaica, India, Israel/Palestine, South Korea, and Trinidad. In addition, the seminar will feature academic research about resistance to gender-based violence in different countries in different historical contexts.
From the powerful Viking empire to the liberal democracy known for Legos and social welfare, the critical transition of Denmark into a modern state is often considered to have happened at the turn of the 19th Century. Allying with Napoleon Bonaparte, the Danish state was devastated by defeat in the Napoleonic Wars from the early 1800s. The loss of Norway as a partnering state and its status as a grand international trading center contributed to the financial turmoil. Denmark in the 19th century lingered on its last leg.
