It’s Time for Action: Resisting populist anger over corporate bailouts
(04/08/20 1:00pm)
At the risk of stating the obvious, the fallout from COVID-19 has proved more extreme than anticipated, both with respect to mortality rates and economic decline. In the midst of all the chaos, President Trump has approved the largest stimulus plan in American history. The plan has been met with mixed reactions, with a significant proportion of the opposition rooted in one brand of populism or another.
Election Amidst a Pandemic: Voter suppression and reckless decisions
(04/07/20 1:00pm)
A profound silence fills the streets — families and individuals are tucked away in their homes as they socially distance themselves in light of the coronavirus. Since Governor Tony Evers’ "Safer At Home" order has gone into effect, all but essential operations and activities continue and the state of Wisconsin has basically been frozen in time and place. In what seems like a dystopia, where children are not playing in playgrounds, students are not attending classes on campus and many employees are not working at their offices, the in-person election planned for April 7 is still being held — and that’s absurd.

Support for trans peers necessary, urgent
(03/12/20 12:00pm)
In a time where trans women are being killed at a startling rate, conversations over using one’s correct name and pronouns are considered controversial rather than necessary, and Badgers who identify as trans are feeling increasingly unsafe, these students need our support more than ever.

The spread of xenophobia seemingly trumps the Coronavirus — we cannot let this happen
(03/05/20 1:00pm)
The beginning of 2020 has seen the rampant rise of the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), a pathogen originating in Wuhan, China and spreading rapidly worldwide. Not much concrete information is available about the pathogen — with research ongoing — but the virus has been known to cause COVID-19, a contagious and potentially fatal respiratory disease. All of this has resulted in widespread fear and panic, but also an uptick in racist and xenophobic attacks on people of East Asian ethnicity.
The Pitfalls of Patriotism: A country-wide binding force or a dividing line?
(02/20/20 1:00pm)
As an international student from the United Arab Emirates (rather, an Indian citizen brought up in the UAE away from his motherland) and a born-and-raised Midwesterner, we have different experiences with the concept of ‘patriotism.’ Yet, we both see love for country the same way — as a means of advocating for progress and change, not an excuse or justification to maintain antiquated laws and social norms.

Are we fulfilling the Wisconsin Idea?
(01/30/20 1:00pm)
One of the reasons I — and I am sure some of my peers — chose UW as a primetime undergraduate destination was due to the university’s commitment to the impacts of education outside of the classroom, lab, and discussion section. Our thriving student org population, rapidly evolving city surrounding campus, and seemingly never-ending opportunities to do research or join unique projects was more than enough to pull my bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed freshman self to Madison.
