As you scan the dinner menus after your afternoon class, you may be deciding which options look the tastiest (or at least, whatever is better than the blackened cod). However, in the wake of various climate movements around the world and Smith’s “Year on Climate Change,” you might be wondering how you can lessen your carbon footprint.

As you scan the dinner menus after your afternoon class, you may be deciding which options look the tastiest (or at least, whatever is better than the blackened cod). However, in the wake of various climate movements around the world and Smith’s “Year on Climate Change,” you might be wondering how you can lessen your carbon footprint.
Recently we saw the global climate strikes, organized by youth climate activists around the world. Among them is Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old Swedish activist. Greta…
After four years since her case began, Chanel Miller comes forward with her story. Up until this point, the public only knew her as “Emily Doe”, a catchall caricature of what a rape victim might look like. You might not even know her by this name, but I’m sure you recognize the name Brock Turner and all of its connotations. That’s less of a reflection of a person as an individual, and a lot more to do with the culture we inhabit that first, privileges the voices of men; second, ignores, and at worst shuns and degrades survivors; and third, upholds whiteness as an ideal. So much so that just weeks after the story broke, headlines everywhere painted the picture of a helpless white boy whose whole life was about to be taken away over “one silly mistake.”

France est souvent décrite tendrement comme un endroit plein des expériences gastronomiques: cassoulet, une cocotte des haricots blancs, les jambes de canard et le porc; poulet basquaise, le poulet tendre aromatisé avec le porc, les tomates et les poivrons; boeuf bourguignon, des morceaux de boeuf cuisinés lentement dans un peu du vin rouge et des légumes; la liste continue. J’ai connu tous ces plats traditionnels de France, donc j’étais un peu nerveuse en commençant mes études à l’étranger à Paris l’été dernier comme végétarienne. Bien-sûr, j’ai compris que je ne mourrais pas de faim, mais par conséquent, est-ce que je raterais l'expérience complète de vivre à Paris? Est-ce que je sentirais exclue d’une partie majeure de la culture?
Over the past few weeks, visiting associate professor Loretta Ross hosted two workshops entitled “Calling Out: Holding Ourselves Accountable” and “Calling In: Building Unity Through Love.” These events sought to begin a conversation about ‘call out’ culture, which will culminate in a symposium of the same name. Organized in conjunction with Professor Carrie Baker from the Department for the Study of Women & Gender, the symposium is set to take place on Feb. 22, 2020.
“It’s an intimate portrait of Black love. About community, about gentrification, about art. About so many things that I hope speak to you all,” said Anaiis Cisco, Smith’s new Assistant Professor of Moving Image Production at Smith, introducing her short film “Drip Like Coffee” to an audience of Smith students and faculty on Monday, Oct. 7.
When I first considered transferring to Smith during my freshman year, I was intrigued by the possibility of attending a small liberal arts college. I was deeply unhappy and unfulfilled at St. John’s University, a large Catholic university close to my home in New York City. There was no strong sense of community or engagement on campus, and the school felt like the wrong fit. In high school, I struggled to fit in among high-achieving peers who aimed to attend schools like Smith. My self-esteem was low, and I wondered whether I should even bother going to college. I decided to attend St. John’s because it seemed like the most realistic option and I didn’t know what else to do. When I arrived on campus, I realized why my peers had cared so much about finding the right fit. Everything began to click: college is a formative, once-in-a-lifetime experience. I wasn’t actually living during my time at St. John’s. I was just surviving from day to day and racking up credits.
