U. announces expansion of affinity groups

U. expands Global Brown, U-FLi centers, Office of MilitaryAffiliated Students

BY EMILY FAULHABER UNIVERSITY NEWS EDITOR

The Division of Campus Life announced staffing changes to three on-campus identity centers — the Global Brown Center for International Students, the Undocumented, First-Generation College and Low-Income Student Center and the Office of Military-Affiliated Students — in a March 30 news release.

Both the GBC and U-FLi Center are expected to add additional staff members to their roster in the coming months, as Campus Life is in the “final stages of the recruitment process,” Loc Truong, assistant vice president for Campus Life engagement, wrote in an email to The Herald.

“By the start of summer, we will have a full staff in all of the identity centers,” Truong wrote.

The centers also plan to launch a

collaborative speaker series to “promote the academic mission of the University by engaging students with scholars, activists and researchers on important and current issues,” according to the announcement.

The expansion of the three identity centers was motivated by a need among students that identify with these groups for help with “navigating the college experience,” according to the announcement. Campus Life also saw a demand for specialized spaces where these students are able

Alums from classes of 1966, 1970 discuss Pembroke-Brown merger, impacts

BY BISHAKHA OLI STAFF WRITER

On July 1, 1971, Brown University fully merged with its sister institution, Pembroke College.

This move followed a nationwide trend towards co-education that saw the consolidation of women’s colleges with their all-male counterparts and the admission of men into previously all-women’s colleges.

The merger also ran parallel to a period of cultural upheaval brought about by the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War and generational challenges to authority and tradition.

The Herald spoke to seven Pembroke alums about life for women on College Hill at the time of the merger and their continuing connection to Pembroke today.

Different standards and access to

resources

The Women’s College in Brown University — founded in 1891 and renamed Pembroke College in Brown University in 1928 — saw its first cohort of women graduate in 1894.

Equipped with a separate campus one-eighth of a mile from Brown’s main campus, Pembroke was overseen by the Dean of Pembroke College. But as Brown’s coordinate college, it remained under the control of the Corporation, the University’s highest governing body.

Barron’s 1969 “Profiles of American Colleges” noted that Pembroke women were offered the same courses as male students and all classes were co-ed. Men and women received the same University degrees.

But for Beverly Hodgson ’70 P’01 P’07, the resources offered to Pembroke students were vastly different from and limited in comparison to Brown students.

She explained that Brown had a daily student newspaper, whereas Pembroke’s was only published weekly. The Arnold Fellowship, which granted funding to seniors

Julia Bedell ’25 wins gold at USA Gymnastics Nationals

SPORTS Three other Brown gymnasts earn AllAmerican honors in final meet of season

BY HALEY SANDLOW AND SAM LEVINE UNIVERSITY NEWS EDITORS

At the start of this year’s season, instead of choosing slower-paced music for her floor routine, gymnast

Julia Bedell ’25 decided she wanted to go bold. She chose an instrumental version of “Confident” by Demi Lovato — out of her comfort zone, but light-hearted and upbeat.

The music “really just captured everything that I wanted to do this season,” she told The Herald. “I wanted to be confident. I wanted to go forward and put my best work out there.”

This past weekend, Bedell won gold on floor exercise at the USA Gymnastics’ Women’s Collegiate National Championships compe -

tition hosted at Texas Woman’s University. She scored a 9.888 on her routine at the individual finals on Saturday, winning the title of national champion on the floor exercise.

“I’m still trying to process all the emotions,” Bedell said of the meet, the final one of the season and the last for the team’s seniors.

“But the overall emotion is just super grateful and happy,” she said. “I feel very proud of myself and very thankful for everyone around me that’s helped me get this far.”

At the individual competition Saturday, routines were performed one at a time, highlighting each gymnast, Head Coach Brittany Harris told The Herald. Everyone was cheering for each other, and the meet was filled with support and energy, she added.

“Watching Julia get rewarded for her beautiful and incredible floor routine … was really exciting and the icing on the cake,” Harris said.

Feminist education, eating disorders and sex toys are just a few of the topics covered by Malana Krongelb ’19’s eponymous zine collection.

The collection — which Krongelb began in 2015 — is housed at both the John Hay Library and the Sarah Doyle Center for Women and Gender. Looking beyond academic texts and leather-bound books, zines — self-made and distributed magazines — have become increasingly visible as a resource for students on various topics, including feminism, intersectionality and more.

Lesson Plans for Feminist Educators” provides ways for teachers to address feminism, intersectionality and self-expression within their classes, which includes zine-making.

In an interview with The Herald, Krongelb said that she had “never heard of zines” before college. During her first year at the University in 2013, when activism around Title IX policies garnered attention on col-

lege campuses, Krongelb was sexually harassed by a graduate student, she said. That same semester, while working for the University-based feminist magazine Blue Stockings, Krongelb helped put together a zine highlighting the stories of survivors at Brown.

The zine, titled “Silent & Voice,” put Krongelb on “a path of healing,” she said. “I recognized the power of zines personally.”

After being absent from Brown for a year on medical leave, Krongelb returned to zines as a source of healing and empowerment — they were “what

Young Entrepreneurs Program mentors Providence high school students

YEP! hosts entrepreneurship session during College Day at Brown

BY ELIZABETH HIRSCHFELD STAFF WRITER

Last Thursday, Providence high school students participated in an informational session on entrepreneurship hosted by the Brown chapter of the Young Entrepreneurs Program.

YEP! is “an entirely free entrepreneurship program for local high school students in college towns,” according to its website. Founded at Brown in 2019 in collaboration with the Nelson Center of Entrepreneurship, YEP! has since opened chapters at Yale, the University of California at Berkeley and the University of California at Los Angeles.

At Brown, YEP! mentors get involved with the Providence community by working with local high schoolers on developing their entrepreneurial skills. “We run a semester-long program where we help (high schoolers) build their own business ideas, and then they eventually pitch them to a panel of judges,” explained Emma Pearlman ’25, marketing and design lead for YEP!

Last week, YEP! presented to Providence high school students who were visiting the University as part of College Day at Brown, organized by Brown’s Annenberg Institute for School Reform. During College Day, high school students had the opportunity to attend informational sessions on various fields of study. YEP! presented on business and en -

trepreneurship during the program, Pearlman said.

Throughout YEP!’s session, high school students participated in group activities aiming to introduce them to entrepreneurship, said Meg Henning ’25, YEP!’s school engagement lead.

“We help people within our community,” said Ruth Yinka-Banjo ’26, a YEP! mentor, adding that she has enjoyed giving back while exploring business and entrepreneurship.

Yinka-Banjo believes that YEP! provides a unique opportunity for high school students to gain knowledge that is applicable to many fields, even if they are not interested in business or entrepreneurship specifically. “Business cuts across all sectors,” she said.

In addition to hosting a session during College Day, YEP! has previously hosted Pitch Nights, during which high school participants

present business ideas developed throughout the semester to a panel of judges. In past years, judges have included Brown students, professors and local entrepreneurs, according to Pearlman. This semester’s Pitch Night will take place May 3.

Leading up to Pitch Night, Brown student mentors guide the high school participants in developing their pitches, practicing their public speaking skills and creating their pre-

sentations. Previous business ideas have centered on improving the environment, education and mental health.

“It’s really inspiring at the end of the whole process to see them talking in front of a large group of people, being so passionate about their ideas,” Pearlman said. Students come “out of the program with a newfound sense of confidence and general knowledge of entrepreneurship.”

‘The Night Agent’ is binge-worthy but lacks remarkability

Series renewed for second season, skyrockets to top 10 lists across globe

BY SAHIL BALANI STAFF WRITER

On March 23, Netflix released its newest spy thriller “The Night Agent” — packed with conspiracies, politics, action and crime. The show garnered over 168 million hours of viewership in its debut week, overthrowing “You” to become Netflix’s global No. 1 most-watched English TV series and getting renewed for season two mere days after its premiere.

“The Night Agent” follows Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), an FBI agent on desk duty, working from the White House basement. While manning the helpline for Night Action— an unofficial branch comprised of members of the FBI, CIA and various other government agencies — he discovers a realm of dark secrets about various high-profile figures in the U.S. government and embarks on a mission to investigate the assassination of tech CEO Wick (Ben Cotton)’s parents.

The story, adapted from Matthew Quirk’s 2019 novel of the same name, has the audience glued to the screen from the very first minute. Shawn Ryan, the show’s creator, does a phenome-

nal job converting the narrative from page to screen. From scenes depicting a metro bombing to shocking reveals of government moles, the story hits audiences with one interesting twist after another. Each minute of the show adds an interesting layer and dynamic to the story, making audiences want to continually click the “next episode” button.

But “The Night Agent” does falter in certain areas. From the confusing motivations of its surprise villains to superficial conversations about deli-

cate topics such as American intervention on foreign soil, the show leaves audiences searching for more.

Basso’s character is the quintessential underdog and enlists audiences on his side from the moment the show starts. Sutherland’s struggles with his father’s past and his low status in the FBI make audiences root for his search for the truth. But while Basso engaged the audience with his acting prowess, Sutherland’s personality lacked a certain iconic charisma. As a result, it’s difficult to imagine that Basso’s

character will develop the same sort of cult following as comparable characters such as John Wick and Jack Bauer.

The chemistry between Sutherland and Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan), who is also being hunted by assassins, was well crafted by the actors and directors of the show. The relationship served as the emotional heart of the show. It’s important to note that Larkin was a well-developed character on her own accord, beyond her relationship with Sutherland, which justified her position as a key figure in the show.

While many performances in the show stood out, certain actors could have benefitted from more screen time and in-depth character development. Eve Harlow plays a conniving and unpredictable assassin as Ellen, while Fola Evans-Akingbola delivers charismatic and convincing action sequences as Secret Service agent Chelsea Arrington. But audiences are left wanting to see more of both characters. The cinematography and editing in “The Night Agent” were also impactful. The gray and blue tones of the series helped establish the dramatic, political environment of the show, pulling audiences into the severity of the issues at hand.

The background score and various soundtracks in the series also deserve applause. The music was well placed to emote the feelings of the characters and help the audience empathize with them. The series finale, entitled “Fathers,” had an appropriately dramatic soundtrack that included “Heroes” by Gangs of Youth, which helped perfectly accentuate the uprising and achievements of the series’ underdog protagonist.

Though lacking in a few places, “The Night Agent” is entertaining, binge-worthy and easy to watch. The season finale coincides with the conclusion of Ryan’s book, and with no more source material left for the show, it will be interesting to see what is in store for Sutherland in season two.

Panel explores intersections between pandemics, LGBTQ+ experiences

Scholars present at event titled “Queer(ing) Pandemics/Queer-asPandemic”

BY RYAN DOHERTY SENIOR STAFF WRITER

The Pembroke Center invited scholars for a virtual symposium on Friday entitled “Queer(ing) Pandemics/ Queer-as-Pandemic.”

Four professors — whose fields of study ranged from biology to media and culture studies — were asked to consider “the ways in which pandemics … have been endured, engaged and confronted by queer and trans communities,” according to event moderator Lynne Joyrich, professor of modern culture and media at the University.

A ‘double-edged sword’

Joseph Osmundson, clinical assistant professor of biology at New York University, opened the symposium by defining the term “pre-science,” which refers to the “social and political choices” that influence “what scientists study and how (they) study it.”

“Much of queer and trans life is pre-science, mostly because science doesn’t generally study queer and trans people and when it does, science often does more harm than good,” he explained.

According to Osmundson, science can often misrepresent queer identities. He cited a movement in the 1990s in which “researchers were attempting to show genetic underpinnings of male sexuality in order to argue that sexuality was immutable and therefore (that) queer people deserve greater protections under the law.”

He criticized this research as dangerous, calling it a “double-edged sword, which could just as easily lead to the genetic treatment of queerness.”

“We must train scientists to be aware of the social, political and material world in which they work,” Osmundson said. “This will require a revolution.”

‘We need and long for emotional intimacy’

The second presentation was given by Marlon M. Bailey, professor of African and African American studies and women, gender and sexuality studies at Washington University in St. Louis. Bailey shared a personal essay with the virtual audience that

tant director. A new program coordinator is expected to be hired soon.

GBC “builds internationally identified communities” on campus while also “challenging” University faculty and staff to “perpetuate inclusivity by thinking critically about international and global issues,” according to the announcement.

Expansions to GBC come in the wake of increased student participation in the center’s International Mentoring Program — which hosts International Orientation and provides incoming international students with yearlong peer mentorship. In recent years, IMP has seen a nearly

explored themes of loneliness and loss during the COVID-19 pandemic for LGBTQ+ people and people of color.

Bailey recalled an experience in which he asked a potential sexual partner to follow COVID-19 prevention protocol during sex. “When I asked the guy if he would be willing to wear a mask, he said ‘Hell no. That’s weird,’” Bailey recounted.

Bailey also discussed the impact of COVID-19 more broadly, adding that LGBTQ+ people of color were more likely to “experience the health and economic impacts of COVID-19 than both white LGBTQ+ people and non-LGBTQ+ white people.”

He also shared frustrations with his sexual life and loneliness during the pandemic, stemming from

self-isolation and a fear of possible COVID-19 exposure.

“What I have learned from myself and from the research that I have conducted with Black men … is that we need and long for emotional intimacy, but we often lack the willingness, courage, tools and often the conditions to forge these kinds of relationships,” Bailey said.

‘Works to repress sexuality’

In her presentation entitled “Unbecoming,” Eva Hayward, assistant professor of media and culture studies at Utrecht University, discussed the intersection between transmisogyny — misogyny specifically against trans women — and pandemics. She observed that queer and trans identities have historically been as -

sociated with HIV/AIDS and asked the audience to “rethink (these) easy associations.”

This discourse around the HIV/ AIDS pandemic “works to repress sexuality” rather than serving as a reminder that HIV disproportionately affects trans women, according to Hayward.

Acknowledging this connection was “profound” for Hayward as she was “coming into” her identity in the 1990s.

‘Parts of themselves that were previously inaccessible’

The fourth and final presentation of the symposium was given by Sarah Williams, visiting assistant professor of anthropology and gender studies at Brown. Williams’s presentation was titled “As Long as I’m not Eat-

ing my Dead Husband’s Ashes, I’m Good: Mental Health, Social Supports and Queer Resiliency during the COVID-19 Pandemic.”

Williams shared stories from several queer individuals that highlighted how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted their mental health. One story she shared was that of an agender individual who was “ forced to isolate at home with immediate family who was intensely religious and homophobic.”

But the pandemic also offered time and space for some LGBTQ+ individuals to explore their sexuality, according to Williams. “The social isolation and shift to the online social community … (allowed people) to explore the parts of themselves that were previously inaccessible.”

25% increase in participation.

Going forward, GBC plans to find ways to better support international graduate students by developing a more robust orientation program, social and community support and resource navigation, according to the announcement.

‘Communal learning and advocacy’: U-FLi Center

At the U-FLi Center, Julio Reyes ’12 has been promoted to center director, with new hire Jay Salcedo filling his former role as program director. A new assistant director is expected to be hired soon.

The U-FLi Center is a “communal learning and advocacy center” for stu-

dents who identify as undocumented, first-generation or low-income — a growing population on campus in light of the University’s continued commitment to need-blind admissions.

The U-FLi Center recently secured a $1 million grant to expand the Kessler Scholars Program, formerly the FLi Scholars Program, through the Kessler Scholars Collaborative. The center plans to expand support for U-FLi Kessler Scholars from one year to four years.

Supporting the needs of military-affiliated students

OMAS will see staff changes as well, with Christian “Mac” Manning leading as program director. Becky

Scheusner ’18 also joined OMAS as program coordinator in February.

OMAS assists military-affiliated students in making “successful transitions into and out of the Brown community,” according to its website. OMAS aims to meet the “unique” needs that many commuting military-affiliated students have by providing a space to store their belongings and private study spaces, the announcement reads.

Currently, OMAS is assessing the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program and how its partnerships with nearby universities can “enrich the experience of these non-traditional students who bring academic and cultural depth to our community,”

the announcement reads.

According to the announcement, the expansion of these centers places “an emphasis on engaging with fellow identity centers, campus partners and community organizations.”

Campus Life hopes that the expansion of the three centers will “reflect the growth of Brown’s student population and embodies Brown’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.”

All the identity centers on campus are “pivotal” to the missions of the University and Campus Life, according to the announcement. Investing in them will have “measurable immediate and long-term positive impacts.”

DAEBAK showcases K-pop dance covers at spring show ‘DAEBAK & Co.’

Business-themed performance celebrates team, collaboration with other dance groups

BY ISABEL HAHN STAFF WRITER

Brown-RISD K-pop dance team

DAEBAK opened doors to students for their annual spring show

“DAEBAK & Co.” last Friday and Saturday in Salomon DECI. In front of the packed auditorium, the dancers of DAEBAK performed routines to around 30 K-pop songs.

The show — true to its name — took on a lighthearted business casual theme inspired by the popular office romance, Korean drama “Business Proposal.” In a teaser promo video that played before the show, DAEBAK members posed as businesspeople in a sleek montage-style edit.

The show opened with an energetic performance by the DAEBAK e-board to “Who U Are” by Kang Daniel, followed by a welcome message from the board.

“We have a lot of different choreography to show today, from stages you might have seen at other events to all new pieces,” Bumjin Joo ’25, co-communications chair, told the audience.

Co-Director Annie Liang ’24 encouraged the audience to cheer loudly, saying that the performers “feed off of your audience energy, and we all work together to create an awesome show. You guys are also welcome to sing along.”

Throughout the show, audience members were not shy about expressing their support, with many cheering for their friends and waving glowsticks that were handed out at the ticketing booths.

The show continued with several composite dance numbers, each consisting of two to three pieces titled to fit the business theme. Each performance showcased DAEBAK’s high-energy and synchronized style of dancing. In addition to vibrant colors and strobe lighting that illuminated the stage, a diverse set of

coordinated costumes emphasized the dancers’ elaborate movements, taking inspiration from performances by popular K-pop groups.

The team’s shared love for K-pop shone through the performances and amped up the audience. Many of the dancers lip-synced along with the music, some impersonating K-pop group members in their choreography and motions.

The show also featured non-audition members from DAEBAK’s Dance Camp — a weeklong workshop open to dancers of all backgrounds and levels of experience — in a piece titled “Meet the Interns.”

In addition to the set program, DAEBAK featured collaborative performances with other dance groups.

On Friday, Impulse and Abhinaya joined DAEBAK to present two partially student-choreographed collaborative performances, fusing each group’s respective cultural and stylistic dance techniques. DAEBAK shared the stage with Ground Breakin’ and Moli East Asian Dance Company on Saturday.

According to Liang and co-Director Elise Togneri ’24, preparation for “DAEBAK & Co.” took the whole year. “It’s pretty hard to organize 34 people … and schedule all their prac-

tices,” Liang said. “But our members are also in it to be as productive as possible.”

Despite scheduling challenges, Togneri said that tech week went “surprisingly very smooth. … All our members really (came) prepared.”

Ayusha Maharjan, a Rhode Island School of Design student who came to the show to support a friend, enjoyed seeing “the dancers’ energies” and singing along.

Melanie Lau ’26 also came out to see several friends and “really liked the lights, visuals and the outfits,” she said. “It’s been really fun.”

The show wrapped up with a hu -

for independent projects, was also only open to men. And before Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in institutions receiving federal funding, Pembroke had inferior athletic facilities.

“The Pembroke deans did not seem very committed to fostering ambition in women,” Hodgson wrote in an email to The Herald. “Though I was the editor of The Herald and a junior year member of Phi Beta Kappa, the dean who was supposed to counsel me on a career thought I should think of a job in the buyer ranks of a department store — the kind of job that earlier generations of women had taken until marriage.”

Pembroke women were also assigned stricter dress codes and parietal rules than their male co-years. Jeanne Ellis Ormrod ’70 recalled being told in her first year that “we could wear pants on the Pembroke campus (while) we had to wear skirts and dresses on the Brown campus.”

Jaclynne Laxon ’66 P’01 described a “bitter February night” during her time at Pembroke when she was asked to leave the library because she wore slacks instead of a dress due to the cold weather. A librarian told her she was “dressed inappropriately for the Brown campus.”

In an email to The Herald, Barbara Traver ’70 wrote that the University acted “in loco parentis,” or in the place of a parent, setting strict curfews for Pembroke students and preventing men and women from visiting each others’ dorms outside certain hours.

“You got into trouble if you violated the parietal rules,” Laxon explained. “One girl on my floor … stayed out all night and she was dismissed for a semester.”

Hodgson recalled an instance when a Pembroke student was expelled for staying overnight at her boyfriend’s off-campus apartment. Her boyfriend, who was a Brown student, did not face any disciplinary action.

Hodgson said Pembroke students marched to protest the expulsion as part of a nascent movement to demand equal treatment and less restrictive rules.

“The Pembroke deans were slow to recognize that an increasing number of women students were feminists and were not in the mold of earlier classes,” Hodgson wrote.

A ‘diminishing’ feeling of identification

In fall 1969, the Corporation created the Pembroke Study Committee.

Consisting of Corporation members, students and faculty members, the committee was charged with analyzing “facets of University life affecting the education of women at Brown” and making recommendations to the University about “modifications in the present organization of education for women,” according to the committee’s May 1970 report.

In a Nov. 20, 1970 letter addressed to Pembroke alums, Rosemary Pierrel PhD’53 — then dean of Pembroke — cited “the rapidly changing attitudes and events on the campus” as the reason for the committee’s creation.

The committee’s report observed that Pembroke students had “drifted toward integrated university activities rather than to strictly female pursuits,” leading to a “diminishing” feeling of identification with Pembroke.

In its final recommendations, the committee suggested the Corporation merge Pembroke and Brown’s admissions, counseling, housing and placement services, noting that the Pembroke services performed “the same functions as their parallel offices at the College.”

The motion was adopted by the Corporation, leading to the merger in 1971.

Hodgson, who served on the committee, wrote that the group recommended the “use of co-ed dorms to enable an increase in women” students.

Before the merger, the ratio of men to women students was roughly 3-to1, with 3,694 men and 1,368 women enrolled. By fall 1972, that ratio had fallen to about 2-to-1, with 4,036 men and 2,009 women enrolled.

According to Hodgson, having more women in classes — and within a larger student body — allowed women students to play a greater role in larger student organizations.

The merging also created “a single deanery … looking out for the whole student body, as opposed to the superior one looking out for men and the adjunct one looking out for women,” she said.

The University began regarding women students “much more equally and less as a sideline.”

‘A backdrop of upheaval across the country’ Pembroke alums from the class of 1970 recall a gradual easing of restrictions imposed on female students in the leadup to the merger — a change fueled by the cultural events at the time.

“The era from 1966 to my graduation year, 1970, was the era of the Vietnam War and of uprisings by students who found themselves subject to being drafted into a war they did not support,” Hodgson wrote.

Ronnie Dane ’70 said that the Vietnam War, civil rights activism and the

women’s rights movement created “a backdrop of upheaval across the country,” particularly on college campuses.

According to Hodgson, an increasing contempt for government policies caused students to start questioning authority within institutions.

“Students began demanding roles in University governance and, famously, in curriculum, with a huge push to install the ‘New Curriculum’ based on students’ choices and interests rather than on required courses,” Hodgson wrote.

“We were at the end of an era … in the middle of a seismic shift in campus life and standards,” said Judy Griemsmann ’66.

Reflecting on the merger of 1971, Ormrod said that “combining the two colleges into one went hand-in-hand with all the cultural and social changes that were happening.”

“The vanishing of societal restrictions made the merger … almost an afterthought” as women were no longer “guarded like a separate, delicate and exotic species,” Traver said.

‘A legacy of being Pembrokers’

Every class reunion, Margaret Genovese ’70 hosts a Pembroke Breakfast exclusively for the women graduates of her class of 1970.

“It’s a way for me to see my people, the other Pembrokers,” she said. “We all have experiences of having bonded

as female students within a larger university that was predominantly male.”

“We have this enormous allegiance to the school that accepted us, which was Pembroke College,” she added.

Genovese explained that the breakfast serves as a tribute to the history of Pembroke College, as well as to the women that came before her and “fought against prejudice, male chauvinism and not being paid equally as academics.”

“These women were survivors … (and) pioneers,” she said.

Alums from the class of 1966 also have a unique way of staying connected with their Pembroke roots: monthly Zoom meetings.

The first virtual meeting took place during the class of 1966’s 55th reunion, which was held on Zoom. “We started chatting and we had so much fun,” Griemsmann said. “We don’t have to wait for our next reunion to do this.”

The Zoom calls are about 90 minutes each, and 10 to 12 women drop by each month, according to Laxon.

At Pembroke, the students would meet “every night” in their dorms and over dinner. For Griemsmann, these monthly Zoom meetings are “a legacy of being Pembrokers.”

“I’m a proud Brown graduate,” Genovese said. “But I also have a very special part of my heart belonging to the fact that I was a Pembroker.”

Editorial: We must thoroughly reject Islamophobia on campus

Last Tuesday, the Providence Police Department received a call threatening to bomb the University’s Muslim Student Center, inciting fear and forcing students in the center to relocate and rearrange scheduled prayers. The threat came during Ramadan, a sacred month in Islam and a time when Muslim students, faculty and staff come together to celebrate and share suhoor and iftar.

We stand in solidarity with Muslim students, staff and community members at Brown and call on everyone to combat acts of Islamophobia on College Hill.

Although the Department of Public Safety and PPD ultimately determined that there was “no credible threat” to the center connected to the call, this act represents the kind of hatred we must continually guard against in order to ensure acceptance, comfort and safety for all religious identities on campus.

In response to Tuesday’s incident, the Brown Muslim Students Association canceled suhoor as well as nightly prayers. We should not forget how threats, even empty or not “credible” ones, leave lasting effects on the communities they target.

We also cannot view this incident as divorced from a national culture that has proven increasingly hostile to Muslim communities. The past decade has seen a series of

This common intimidation tactic is meant to cause students and community members to fear for their safety in the spaces where they should feel the most at home in their religious and cultural identities. Hate has the ability to linger, to worm into dark spaces and live beyond the moment of a single act. It is our responsibility, then, to name it for what it is, to clear it from our home and school and to affirm support for Muslim students on campus.

Islamophobia does not and never will belong at Brown.

‘Telling human stories’: Emily Mayo ’24 brings fresh perspectives to old tales

Mayo shares current project, love of Shakespeare, theater, history on the stage

BY DANA RICHIE SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Emily Mayo ’24 read her first full Shakespeare play when she was nine years old to earn a king-sized candy bar.

The teacher who led her elementary school’s 20-minute production of “Julius Caesar” used sugary bribes to encourage her students to read the full text. Mayo leapt at the opportunity and quickly became enthralled by Shakespeare. That summer, she read five or six more Shakespearean plays, igniting a lasting passion.

“I don’t think I understood really anything,” Mayo said. “But I kept reading it. When I came back to it and when I read them again, they made sense. Because I was exposed so early, I pieced together the very basics.”

Mayo has kept her passion for theater alive at Brown. So far, she has directed three well-known plays: “Much Ado About Nothing,” “Julius Caesar” and “Antigone.” She was stage manager and assistant director of the musical comedy “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” and acted in “Twelfth Night.” She is currently playing Philario in “Cymbeline” while studying abroad at King’s College in London.

The first show Mayo ever directed, “Much Ado About Nothing,” gave her the confidence to trust her artistic intuition and to “really do this,” she said.

“It’s a really scary thing to direct (and) to create a vision of something different — especially a classic work

that’s been done nine thousand times — and really make it your own,” Mayo added.

With a newfound sense of confidence, Mayo was inspired to return to one of her “old friends”: “Julius Caesar.”

As a director, Mayo put her own twist on the very show that ignited her love of Shakespeare. Instead of featuring Roman politicians wearing togas, her production was set in an all-girls boarding school. She said that she originally conceived the concept when she was preparing for the role of Mark Antony in her high school’s production of the show.

“I had no idea how I, a 14-year-old girl, was going to be this 45-year-old Roman politician who’s also a crazy partier who has a really significant background in the military,” Mayo said. “I ended up writing — which sounds totally embarrassing — a fanfiction equivalent to put the situation into something that I felt I could relate to more.”

Mayo said that there is something special about “exploring an ancient story through a modern lens,” and that she often approaches her directing from this perspective.

For example, when directing the Greek tragedy “Antigone” in fall 2022, Mayo read through more than five translations before picking what she described as an “aggressively, deeply modern version.” It was her first time directing using theater-in-the-round — a staging technique where audiences surround the performers — and she wanted to make sure that the audience could connect with all aspects of the story.

“The characters’ plights and the way they talk, even if it’s disguised in more formal language, really do resonate with

experiences and emotions that we have now,” she said

Grace Miller ’24 has acted in all three of the shows Mayo has directed at Brown. She said that Mayo finds balance as a director between producing her own vision and incorporating feedback from the actors. Miller added that she admires Mayo’s dedication to theater.

“She puts a lot on the line for these shows,” Miller said. “She gives up so many hours just to direct this and it’s really incredible. It’s all a lot, but it’s all worth it because she really cares about it so much.”

Mayo said that as a history concentrator the opportunity to experience and tell the human story is what keeps her coming back to the theater.

“Theater in any capacity… is all fundamentally about telling human stories,” she said, “That is at the core of all I do. That’s what I really hope for when (audiences) come out of productions, that they see a story that moved them in some way.”

Currently, Mayo is creating her own theatrical story in tandem with Northwestern University student Matthew Millin, a friend of Mayo’s. After meeting in sixth-grade choir, the pair hit it off and quickly became friends, matching each other’s enthusiasm for theater, according to Millin.

They have been working together on a musical adaptation of Madeline Miller’s ’00 AM’01 book “Song of Achilles” for five years, with Mayo writing the script and Millin writing the score. What started as a “silly passion project” is being staged at Northwestern this summer as an unofficial not-for-profit production, according to Millin.

“It’s been an incredible learning experience just to go through this process of adaptation and writing new music,

and there’s no one else I would rather have shared it with,” Millin said.

“I really love to make art with Emily,” he added.

Mayo said that this production simultaneously feels like the culmination of years of work and the beginning of an exciting and uncertain journey. “We don’t know if it will stop here or go further,” she said.

Regardless, Mayo said that she will pursue theater in the future. She wants to become managing director of a the-

ater and do theatrical administration to oversee the logistical elements that “make theater happen.”

Mayo added that theater will always be a part of her identity.

“When I came into college, I didn’t know if I wanted to do a lot of theater anymore,” Mayo said. “Then I did ‘Much Ado (About Nothing),’ and I remember turning to someone and going, ‘I think I have to do theater in the future, don’t I?’ and they said, ‘Emily, everyone knew that but you.’”

Higher Ed Roundup: Campuses announce spring music festival lineups

Stanford

BY NEIL MEHTA UNIVERSITY NEWS EDITOR

This month, Columbia approves a controversial new center in Tel Aviv and students at the Stanford Daily continue to report on allegations of their president’s scientific misconduct. Meanwhile, students across the country are preparing for their own campus music festivals.

College spring music festival lineups

Schools across the country are planning their counterparts to Brown’s Spring Weekend, which will include pop-funk singer Remi Wolf, rapper JID and ethereal pop singer Ethel Cain, The Herald previously reported.

At Harvard, the student-run College Events Board will host R&B singer-songwriter Jeremih for the school’s annual Yardfest. Two student bands — selected via the school’s Battle for Yardfest competition — will open for Jeremih’s April 16 performance, according to the Harvard Crimson.

Yale’s annual Spring Fling will feature rapper Pusha T, R&B artist Ravyn Lenae and dance music produc-

er Dombresky. Like Harvard’s festival, Spring Fling will open with performances from three student performers and bands that won the school’s Battle of the Bands Saturday, the Yale Daily News reported.

And at Tufts, Flo Rida will headline the campus’s annual Spring Fling on April 29, alongside electronic DJ trio Cheat Codes and rapper Charlie Curtis-Beard. The event will follow a carnival open to students, the Tufts

Daily reported.

Misconduct investigation into Stanford president’s research continues

At Stanford, President Marc Tessier-Lavigne has faced accusations of scientific misconduct since the Stanford Daily reported in November that a paper co-authored by him was being reviewed for containing altered images.

In February, the Daily reported that a 2009 article co-authored by

the president, at the time an executive at the biotechnology corporation Genentech, was facing an internal review after “several unsuccessful attempts to reproduce the research.”

On Thursday, Genentech released a response to the concerns about the 2009 paper. The report acknowledged that the company had concerns about the research before its publication, the Daily reported. It also described other scientific misconduct in the

now-president’s laboratory.

Columbia announces center in Tel Aviv despite pushback

On April 3, Columbia announced plans to create a global center in Tel Aviv, the Columbia Spectator reported Tuesday. The center would be the latest in Columbia’s network of 10 existing centers in cities including Beijing, Mumbai and Amman.

The announcement followed an open letter circulated by Columbia law professor Katherine Franke opposing the center’s establishment.

As of last week, the letter collected 95 faculty signatures, the Spectator reported, while another faculty letter supporting the center gathered 172 signatures, the New York Times reported Wednesday.

Columbia English professor Marianne Hirsch — an organizer of the open letter opposing the center — told the Times that the announcement raises questions about Israel’s practice of denying entry to travelers based on their political views or ethnicity. Rashid Khalidi, a Columbia history professor, told the Times that both faculty and students — including Franke — have been denied entry to Israel recently. Professors supporting the center argued that the center would be separate from Israel’s politics and that singling out Israel is unjustified, the Times reported.

As the University prepares to host Spring Weekend — whose lineup includes Remi Wolf, JID and Ethel Cain — campuses nationwide recently announced performers at their own spring festivals.

made me feel better the last time,” she said. Inspired by a class assignment on zine collections, Krongelb sought a grant to curate a collection herself.

The SDC eventually helped Krongelb purchase materials for cataloging the zines and allocated space to store them, according to center Director Felicia Salinas-Moniz. “The collection allows for engagement with contemporary issues around gender and sexuality in an approachable and tactile way,” she explained.

“I wanted to make the collection explicitly leftist,” Krongelb said. “I wanted it to really focus on people of color and marginalized folks that weren’t really represented at the University.”

But, she explained, that does not mean the collection is a perfect reflection of her personal opinions. “There are always going to be parts you end up disagreeing with.”

For Mary Murphy, Pembroke Center archivist, the far-reaching scope of Krongelb’s collection reflects the center’s mission. “We are here for the study of difference,” which comes in the form of gender, sexuality, race, religion and class, she said. By pushing the boundaries of which subjects can fall under feminist studies, Murphy believes the zine collection highlights “the way feminist studies entangles itself in every facet of our lives.”

Murphy took an interest in Krongelb’s “circulating zine collection,” noticing that many of the titles Krongelb had curated were rare. Murphy then approached Krongelb with the idea of creating a “sister collection” in the Hay “for preservation,” she said.

The two then began to curate and organize the new collection.

“In my dream, the collections would match perfectly,” Krongelb said. But because many zines didn’t

have duplicates and some older zines had to be preserved, the two collections ended up different.

At the Hay, the collection is organized in a very particular manner, according to Heather Cole, head of Special Collections instruction and curator. Zines are organized by their broad topics rather than by author, title or call number.

“I wanted the people who wrote the zines to … be empowered by the way the collection was organized,” Krongelb said, explaining that traditional cataloging methods can be inaccessible. “And I wanted it to be relatively easy for students to navigate.”

According to Cole, Krongelb’s collection, as well as the broader zine archive at the library, have been used extensively by students. “We very often have a box from the collection on hold for five (or) ten students at a time,” she said, adding that students have engaged with the materials as “inspiration for all kinds of work.”

For Cole, Krongelb’s collection is crucial in “democratizing” the knowledge available at the University. The collection “is very intersectional … in a way that many of our existing collections have not been,” she said

“Brown has been collecting special collections … for a very long time. But a lot of (the collections), like Brown itself, has excluded quite a few people,” Cole added. Beyond Krongelb’s collection, the Hay has continued to actively collect zines for separate collections. “Now we are trying to repair that, to address those gaps.”

To continue expanding the library’s collection, Cole invites students to contribute.

In her zine-filled office at the Pembroke Center, Murphy traced the origins of zines back to the history of diaries. For her, zines are “a form of self-expression that is unregulated,” she said.

“They are mixing together person-

al reflections and thoughts with political commentary and artwork,” Murphy added.

For Krongelb, zines “are not objective and nor should they be.” While the word “zine” has been popularized, Krongelb believes it is important to highlight the transformative, accessible and democratic power of the medium.

“They shouldn’t be expensive, they shouldn’t be glossy and fancy. They should be made cheaply and for the people,” she said. “If it ain’t cheap, it ain’t punk.”

At SDC, Tanvi Anand ’26, the center’s student librarian, tells a similar story. “Zines, to me, represent carving out a space and expressing myself in ways that I didn’t really have the opportunity to do in my environment,” she said.

“Zines provide an alternative to dominant discourses surrounding knowledge, power and justice,” Anand said. “Anyone can make a zine and distribute it.” One of her latest projects compiles World War II newspapers, local political pamphlets and interviews with punk artists.

While browsing through the center’s zine collection, Anand highlighted one zine with a familiar name: “(ERROR ACCESS DENIED) by malana.” Krongelb, that is.

During her time at the University, Krongelb was insistent that she would not become a librarian. This past December, she completed a master’s degree in Library and Information Science at Simmons University. Today, Krongelb is focused on digital literacy education, volunteers at a prison library and was recently named as a juror for the Coretta Scott King Book Awards.

Building the collection, she said, “improved my personal perspective and relationship to feminism.” To Krongelb’s life, zines were — and still are — transformative.

competition, Brown scored 193.050, finishing third out of four teams in their session. Though they did not advance to the team finals on Friday, four Bears gymnasts — including Bedell — earned First-Team USAG All-American honors, advancing to Saturday’s individual finals. Bedell and Abby Contello ’23 both competed on vault, with Contello tying for fourth overall with a score of 9.750.

“My mindset heading into the competition was really just to leave it all out there and have no regrets,” Contello said. “Knowing that this was our last competition was bittersweet, but we knew that everything left in the tank we had to give that day.”

Ella Poley ’23.5 placed eighth on bars with a 9.688, and Herald Staff Writer Maya Davis ’25 scored a 9.825 on floor, landing her fifth place.

Brown Gymnastics ended its 202223 season with multiple new program records and a season-high score of 195.200 at the Ivy Classic Feb. 26 — the second-highest in program history — which earned them the Ivy League title.

The team’s Ivy Classic win was a highlight of the season, multiple gymnasts told The Herald.

“The work that we put in in the fall, during our preseason, definitely paid off in that moment,” Contello said. “That was just very special, as

a senior, to celebrate” the win in the Pizzitola Sports Center.

“As a team, we finished better than we started — that’s the growth of it, and the joy of the journey,” Harris said. The team’s performance Thursday “wasn’t exactly what we

wanted, but it was still a very, very good ending for us,” she added.

Contello said she is still “in shock” that her gymnastics career has come to an end. When asked what advice she had for her underclassmen teammates, she said, “Cherish every

moment that you have with each other. It really does go by so quickly.”

“Having to say goodbye to (the seniors), it’s just a very — it’s a hard thing to do,” Bedell said. For Bedell, nationals was for the seniors.

“Everything I did this weekend and

everything I put out there was for them,” she said.

“I’m super proud of myself and my team,” Bedell added. “I’m so proud of everything that we’ve accomplished this season. And I can’t wait for next year.”
