...teens or early twenties and responsible (perhaps for the last time) to no one but ourselves. We are so eager to be involved on campus and in the classroom that we forget there is an entire world in which to be involved, one that makes the basement classrooms of CGIS and the panels on international affairs look pitifully inadequate. Our resources are great and our faculty superb, but no lecture on Latin American social movements can compare to watching the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo march outside the Casa Rosada, crying for their children who disappeared more than...

In her experimental multi-media exhibit “Nostalgic Technologies,” on display in the Transit Gallery of CGIS South until April 10, Boym manipulates technology to reevaluate photographs from her travels throughout Europe and America. Boym’s journey into what she calls “broken-tech art” began when she was printing photographs and her printer began to run out of black ink. When...
...Allston are intended to be University-wide facilities, and almost all of the new buildings will include space for teaching undergraduates. Yet there remain concerns about the undergraduate presence in Allston because it could be difficult for students to get there. Harvard College already stretches from Eliot to CGIS and from Mather to the Quad; some argue that spreading the College across the river will simply stretch it too much.
