Ear episode of the volume, Matthew Lucia and Miles Stephenson discuss Columbia’s controversial ties with the racist and pseudoscientific study of eugenics. By investigating some of the most consequential theoretical voices of the early 20th century, the episode raises serious questions that need to be appropriately addressed.
This issue also includes our first photo essay of the year, photographed and written by staff photographer Selina Yang. In her essay, she explores the nuanced realities of the first-year experience at Columbia and Barnard. Over FaceTime with four students, she is able to document the ways that first-years have adapted to overcome their fear of missing out.
