A trip down memory lane – and Beyond

Coleen Grissom October 10, 2015

  For several years, the senior director for alumni relations has invited me to share my impressions of current life on the Trinity campus in remarks during Alumni Weekend.  I've titled those...

Nikita Chirkov October 2, 2015

On September 30, Trinity University student groups hosted a panel discussion on "Prejudice Today." The panel was supposed to serve as "an interactive forum in response to Ahmed Mohamed's Arrest" and...

Pay attention to: Snapchat

Jeff Sullivan October 2, 2015

About once a week I have this sort of jarring realization that, for all intents and purposes, I am living in a previously unforeseen future. I live with technology that science fiction writers from decades...

Spirit and ecstasy in theater and beyond

Courtney Justus October 2, 2015

Every day, I find some reminder of a guest lecture here at Trinity from a distinguished individual, either in my email or on a poster I see on my way to class. Most of the time, I have never heard of these...

Parenting done right

How dare you be offended

Nikita Chirkov September 18, 2015

The greatest ignominy of the modern era has to be, in my opinion, the inability to speak truthfully and fully about an unpopular subject. No longer can you publicly denounce what you think to be absurd...

Pay attention to Broadly

Jeff Sullivan September 14, 2015

"Tentpole" documentaries, a name that Vice has attached to their style of immersive journalism, have been showing me stories of people's lives and experiences since I was about sixteen. While certainly...

What I learned on my summer vacation

David Crockett September 14, 2015

My typical bent is toward the political. It's what I teach and study, and I enjoy it, so the topic frequently takes center stage in my columns. It can be very frustrating, then, to take an entire summer...

Come with me if you want to live

Aaron Delwiche September 14, 2015

Late May was warm and sleepy. The last diplomas were handed out. Students and faculty scattered to all corners of the globe. Summer research projects had not yet kicked into gear. The campus was deserted. And...
