Panel explores gender, race Alumni rally with climate activists By Kaitlyn Budion news corresPondent
In a crowded room in Dockser Hall on the night of Oct. 6, Northeastern students gathered to listen to a panel of professors discuss how issues of race and gender are playing into the presidential election. The panel was comprised of Suzanna Walters, professor of sociology and director of the Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies program; Carole Bell, assistant professor of communication studies and Jessica Silbey, professor of law. The event was moderated by Sarah Jackson, assistant professor of communication studies. One by one, the women addressed various issues surrounding the election season. Walters primarily spoke about the gender discourse of this political season and the importance of diversity in
spoke about the media’s negative portrayal of Hillary Clinton. “The narrative of her being both unlikable and untruthful and, of course, now on death’s door, feeds into and from normative ideas of gender about women’s inherent duplicity and dishonesty, our cultural revulsion and hatred of older women, but our reverence for older men,� she said. Bell spoke next and focused on the impact of race and racism on presidential campaigns, both now and in the past. “We have long had a really racially polarized electorate,� Bell said. “A lot of people just really didn’t notice it. The democratic party has not won the majority of white vote since 1964.� Bell also spoke about the draw Trump has to for white voters.

(L–R) Sarah Jackson, Suzanna Walters, Jessica Silbey and Carole Bell discuss gender, race and the presidential election in Dockster Hall on Oct. 6.
“We have a lot of anxiety in whites about immigration, about changing economic power, changing status and so on,� she said. “We really see a lot of that play out more obviously in this election, even though it’s really been there all along.� Sibley then spoke about how the next president will affect the Supreme Court and the practice of law. The next president’s choices will tip the ideological balance of the court, affecting Supreme Court decisions for decades. “What’s at stake in this election is really for whom will the laws work,� she said. “The president is the chief law enforcer in the nation as well as the commander in chief. It will be her job to present laws and to enforce those laws in a way that is for everybody.� Jessica Ordinario, a senior communication studies and sociology major who attended the event, praised the panel but regretted that the discussion was necessary. “I think it was just a lot of really smart women who are telling us things that are very obvious, but sadly we need to hear,� Ordinario
said. Another student, Will McAneny, a senior international affairs major, praised the format of the event. “I thought it was a fantastic panel,� said McAneny. “It was moderated very well. I appreciated how they came from a diversity of academic disciplines and how the questions for the most part all moved the conversation forward by kind of focusing on a different facet or aspect of the issues that were discussed.� The event was sponsored by the Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Affairs; Humanities Center; School of Law; John D. O’Bryant AfricanAmerican Institute; Politics, Philosophy and Economics program; Department of Political Science; Center for Spirituality, Dialogue and Service; Center for Intercultural Engagement; and College of Social Sciences and Humanities, but was largely pushed by Walters. “I felt we needed a chance to really talk about how race and gender are structuring the way we can even think about this election and the

meeting between DivestNU memern. On the ninth day of the occupation, a group of about 50 students and alumni gathered in the dim light of the makeshift Centennial encampment at 6 p.m. on Tuesday. “[The alumni] are folks who were involved in the 2014 referendum, who just reached out to us after hearing about our campaign,� said Austin Williams, a senior environmental studies and political science major and co-founder of DivestNU. In March 2014, 75 percent of students who participated in the SGA
elections voted in favor of divestment. Speakers at the rally included students, alumni and the father of a Northeastern student. “This isn’t a joke. The stakes are really really high,� Daniela Gonzalez, a Northeastern alumna who graduated in 2015, said. “I want to remind you all not to let the administration tell you that they’re going to create a committee to stall this. [...] They’ll ignore you, and then they’ll ignore you again.� On Friday, Oct. 14, SGA plans to hold Husky Takeover on Centennial. The event will feature a bounce house, popcorn, grilled food and the chance to win free prizes. As it did during West Wing Night, an event held by Northeastern Votes last Wednesday, DivestNU has agreed to move its tents out of the way of the activities. “[DivestNU] agreed to move their tents out of the way of the safety zone because of the bouncy house,� Akeira Gilbert, SGA’s executive director of communications and a junior human services major, said. “They graciously agreed to move their tents from that morning until 4 p.m.�

OITNB actress Diane Guerrero speaks in Blackman Auditorium Friday, Oct. 7. By Sophie Cannon news corresPondent
Actress and activist Diane Guerrero shared her immigration story at Northeastern’s Blackman auditorium on Friday, Oct. 7. Guerrero, who grew up in Boston, said that when she was 14 years old, her Colombian parents and brother were deported, forcing her to grow up quickly and without the support of her immediate family. “I realized that my story is actually one of the most American out there and I am part of the American narrative,� Guerrero said. “I don’t want people talking about immigrants as a dirty word; we need to talk about race openly and the minute I decided to be truthful and honest, doors started opening for me.� Guerrero is best known for her work on the television series “Jane series “Orange is the New Black.� and immigrant rights and is a White House ambassador for citizenship and naturalization. “It was really tough [for my parents],� Guerrero said. “My parents left Colombia because there was no money. They left Colombia because it was dangerous. They left Colombia because there were little prospects for them. And so going back to a place that they basically A common trend woven into the speech was voting and political power in the upcoming election. “We need to vote and use our political muscles,� Guerrero said. “I will not tell you who to vote for, but we’d like to see you round up 11 million immigrants and see how you do! We have to push back, not just to protect diversity but to embrace it.�

Guerrero also addressed the issues surrounding immigrantion in the United States today. She spoke of the far-too-many instances of families being separated and never speaking out due to fear. Guerrero also talked about the lasting effects that her parents’ deportation had on her mental health, a topic that is unfortunately underaddressed and more so in neighborhoods of color, she said. “There are a lot of mental health issues in the Latino communities that go unaddressed,� Guerrero said. “They make you think therapy is a luxury and it’s not. It’s a necessity. We’re not victims, but a community of survivors.� Guerrero found that having to keep her parents’ status a secret for 14 years, followed by the shame that came with their deportation, left her with severe anxiety. “I discovered that I had serious mental health issues. College is so dope for that,� Guerrero said. “Something happens to us and we just can’t run away.� Despite the tough subject matter, Guerrero kept the speech light with funny side stories and relatable comments throughout, reminding the audience to laugh every once in awhile. “Guerrero was extremely down to earth and made a very serious subject more engaging and fun to talk about,� freshman graphic design major Alyssa Schifano said. To show just how close to home this issue is to Boston and the Northeastern University community, Northeastern freshman Valeria Do Vale also took the stage to tell her story of immigration, struggles and successes. “I crossed the border with my family at age seven. I looked ahead and all I saw were heat waves and sand, but looking up at the sky, I saw opportunity,� Do Vale said. Do Vale spoke of the many organizations that helped get her to the podium at Blackman that evening. “I was able to apply for Defend Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) [and receive] a temporary social security number and a work permit,� Do Vale said. “This taken away at any moment, but it certainly helps.� Do Vale has lived in Boston since immigrating to the United States from Brazil. In her speech, she emphasized that stories like hers are not uncommon. “What hasn’t changed is the life threatening circumstances that undocumented immigrants face today,� Do Vale said. “Although we do not have papers, we are people who are frequently just trying to stay alive, and rarely get to dream of opportunity.� Both women urged the audience to take the issues of immigration seriously and were met with huge applause and snapping from the audience. Guerrero’s visit was part of tour to promote her new book, “In the Country We Love: My Family Divided.� “Coming away from the event, I have a new understanding of Latin American culture and appreciation for the struggles immigrants face in our country today,� Schifano said.

Column: Science, journalism collide
As a double major in journalism and biology, I have exposure to many different types of Northeastern courses that can essentially be broken down into two categories: Paper-oriented, deep-thinking, comfort-zoneexpanding journalism classes and conceptual, complex biology classes interspersed with exams. Many of the journalism classes are designed to prepare me to live a reporter’s life. For example, my current digital storytelling class requires every student to keep a regular blog. In many of my classes, I’m expected to be comfortable interviewing everyone from my fellow students to highclasses mimics the life I would have were I actually working in a newsroom – albeit on a much smaller scale. My science classes, on the other hand, are designed to establish a fundamental knowledge base in biology, chemistry and other key disciplines. Every science class I’ve taken has been a unique experience, but as a of information that comes at me every class session. However, unlike the journalism classes, my biology courses don’t generally exemplify the life of a scientist. The accompanying lab courses provide a hands-on component and a practical way to address the core concepts of the class, but are only a small window into what the day-to-day life of a scientist is like. As an aspiring science journalist, I expect to interact with researchers almost daily in my future job. While my double major provides a relevant foundation for my career, I also want to ex-

excitement – of being a researcher. For that reason, I took a volunteer position with my genetics professor, Christopher Richardson, last year, which has continued through this year. Richardson studies bat ecology, or
northeast affects their metabolic ability. In addition to learning about the bat scientist community – something I wouldn’t know existed were it not for this position – I have made many graphs comparing how different variables affect a bat’s immune response, including year and location of capture, severity of wing damage (rated on a scale of 0 to 3) and pregnancy stage. By comparing all of these variables, Richardson hopes to gain a better picture of what determines how a bat will respond to the disease. To better solidify that aim, I’ve also helped to compile lists and descriptions of the major comparisons, which Richardson makes use of when presenting at national bat meetings. In addition to developing a more comprehensive knowledge base of lous attention to detail, late nights in the lab and critical thinking that go into attacking even one small facet of a research question. Science is universally frustrating, but it’s also exciting. Each step forward has the potential to uncover new information. Climate scientists study minute changes in an organism’s food web that, down the line, may alter the entire ecosystem. In climate research, Richardson’s area of study or any other, it’s important to pay painstaking attention to detail in order to either avoid a major mistake or allow an important breakthrough. Taking part in Richardson’s research has not only granted a better understanding to write about it.

Prison slavery must end Over a month ago, the largest prison strike in the history of the U.S. began. Prisoners in 24 states and 40 to 50 prisons pledged to join the strike, according to the Intercept. As of Sunday, actions had been reported at facilities in Alabama, Michigan, Washington state, South Carolina, Ohio and California over the past four weeks, according to BuzzFeed. While demands vary from prison to prison, the striking inmates are homing in on a singular issue: Prison slavery. Although most U.S. history classes teach that the 13th Amendment outlawed slavery entirely, this is not the case. For convicts, modern-day slavery is explicitly legal, according to the Constitution itself. The 13th Amendment reads: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States.” The day the strike began, the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee (IWOC), a division of the union Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), released a statement. “They may have replaced the whip with pepper spray, but many of the other torments remain: Isolation, restraint positions, stripping off our clothes and investigating our bodies as though we are animals,” the statement reads. Prison conditions are horrifying across the board. In at least three states – Texas, Arkansas and Geor-
gia – prisoners are not paid for their labor, according to Mother Jones. In federal prisons, inmates earn about 12 to 40 cents an hour. At Kinross Correctional Facility in Kincheloe, Michigan, one reason prisoners are striking is the low quality and quantity of food, which
DivestNU is a coalition of more than 30 student organizations at Northeastern who support divesting the university’s endowment from fossil fuel companies. After 75 percent of students who participated in a 2014 Student Government Association referendum on divestment voted “yes,” Northeastern set up a body of students, faculty and administrators called the Social Impact Council (SIC). In spring 2016, the SIC recommended Northeastern gradually divest from

Correctional facilities are law, but behind bars, anything goes. play God with prisoners they deem to be the scum of the earth. At the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Gig Harbor, Washington, three prisoners did not report to their jobs in the prison library on Sept. 9. All three were required to spend 20 days in solitary and they lost their library positions. At Kinross, the strike took place movement, 400 prisoners marched
in the yard in violation of prison rules. Although the marching inmates were peaceful, everyone was placed in the yard with their wrists zip-tied for several hours. A total of 250 prisoners involved in the march’s organization were relocated to prevent another protest. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced last Thursday, Oct. 6 that it would be opening an investigation into the conditions of Alabama’s prisons for men. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore, Alabama is one of the facilities where the strike originated. According to the DOJ statement, the investigation will focus on whether prisoners are adequately protected from physical harm and sexual abuse at the hands of other prisoners; whether prisoners are adequately protected from use of excessive force and staff sexual abuse er the prisons provide sanitary, secure and safe living conditions. While the DOJ investigation enough. Slavery – an institution condemned by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – cannot exist. It is despicable that it is constitutional in 2016. Organizers have called for a repeal of the clause in the 13th Amendment that slavery be used “as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.” The IWOC is asking for support on its website. The next set of labor actions will begin Saturday, Oct. 15.
Letter: Support for DivestNU
Despite this, Northeastern announced in July that it would invest $25 million in sustainable initiatives – but not divest from the industry causing climate change. DivestNU’s occupation of Centennial Common comes in response to the administration’s refusal to honor the decision of the body Northeastern itself created to address divestment. As coalition members, we will continue our support until the university agrees to full divestment. The following are some of our reasons for doing so: Feminist Student Organization We are Northeastern University Feminist Student Organization, and
residents of Flint, Michigan still do not have access to clean drinking water. Northeastern’s refusal not only on their disregard for the safety of the planet, but its apathy toward minority issues. The Divest it of activism to give voice to these issues. It is time for Northeastern to listen to our voices. Terra Society As the Marine and Environmental Science Department’s student group, Terra Society represents students who study and appreciate the Earth, the processes that occur upon it and all of its resources. Many academic studies have shown that if the world continues to rely on fossil fuels, the consequences will be intense and severe, including cation, sea level rise and increases in the severity of natural disasters. Northeastern already funds a wonderful amount of atmospheric, oce-
anic and environmentally focused research, it is time to back up the results of this research with action. One of the easiest and most effective ways to do this is by divesting from fossil fuels. Fossil fuel divestment is a crucial step toward a greener and cleaner world. As such, Terra Society stands in solidarity with DivestNU in their goal of full fossil fuel divestment of Northeastern University. Socialist Alternative Socialist Alternative is a national working class organization that political democracy. This goal is impossible if capitalism, due to its us without a habitable world.

As he explained, Boston’s assessor requests that tax-exempt institutions like colleges and hospitals make voluntary payments in lieu of taxes. While hospitals tend to deliver the payments, several schools, including Northeastern, do not, said Zakim. These payments, he said, go a long way toward the services Boston provides its residents with regularly. “It generates a lot of revenue for the city,” he said. “Which we which colleges and their students and staff use, even though they are exempt from tax by state and federal law.” Northeastern contributes with voluntary payments and maintains its own police department, snow removal and garbage disposal services, said university spokesperson Mattew McDonald. kind support of services and community-based programs, Northeastern’s contributions to Boston total more than $27 million annually,” he said. “Northeastern maintains a close and positive working relationship with Mayor Martin J. Walsh on issues important to the city.” McCarthy, however, said the communication, not on raising funds. “I’m not looking to get money from the colleges,” he said. “What I’m looking for is a better relationship [...] All colleges and universities should strive to become integral parts of their neighborhoods, and this might be a vehicle to make sure that that happens.”

Boston voting 101 Wheelmobile recruits locals By Alex Eng news corresPondent
The Massachusetts deadline for eligible citizens to register to vote in the presidential election is one week away, and the push for voter registration is ongoing at Northeastern, but how can students register to vote? There are three ways to register person. All three methods have the same prerequisites: Voters must be U.S. citizens, Massachusetts residents and at least 18 years old on or before Election Day. Voters may be 17 years old at the time of registration, as long as they turn 18 before Nov. 8. Online registration can be done at the online Voter Registration website by following the on-screen instructions. This method requires that individuals have a valid driver’s license, learner’s permit or ID the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV). Mail-in registration requires of two forms, the Massachusetts Mail-In Registration form or the National Voter Registration form. The form must be postmarked before Oct. 19 to the Election Department at 1 City Hall Square, Room 241 in Boston, MA 02201. Citizens can also bring completed physical copies of forms to the Election Department Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., a City Hall to Go truck or any RMV location. Northeastern Votes, the studentled campaign to encourage voter registration around campus, has registered approximately 500 stu-
dents so far, with more than 300 registrations via TurboVote, according to Elliot Horen, a Northeastern Votes spokesperson and Student Government Association (SGA) President. “We’re making sure that days are completely occupied by volunteers [who] are tabling outside, especialand business administration maVotes was working in collaboration with other organizations to coordinate volunteers to cover campus. Once registered, individuals can by typing their addresses into the online location registry. Voters can also submit ballots with an absentee ballot or at any point between Oct. 24 and Nov. 4 through the newly-adopted Vote Early Boston program. Massachusetts residents are required to register to vote 20 days before the Nov. 8 general elections. The upcoming ballot will include the presidential candidates as well as four ballot questions on gambling, charter schools, containment of certain farm animals and mariThe early registration website and digital platforms have been used to promote voting, said Boston Elections Commissioner Dion Irish. Students are one of the most sought-after demographics, Irish said. “I urge all students to register to have an effective government for and by the people, and to have a voice in a functioning democracy,” he said.

This is our hub.” Members of the LSCC collaborated with renowned muralist Susan Cervantes and her foundation Precita Eyes, a community-based mural arts organization from San Francisco, to design the mural. The project began over two years ago when Northeastern seniors Amy Lyu, a graphic and information design major, and Yosh Rozen,

There wasn’t even a plaque on the building,” Lyu said. “We just wanted to give LSCC some recognition, and what better way to do that than a mural?” In the span of just one week, over 180 members of the Northeastern community, including students, staff, alumni, student groups and university departments came to-
gether to hand-paint the mural on Forsyth Street. “This is basically a representation of our students. It’s part of their culture, so they just wanted to share it with the greater Northeastern community,” Vega said. “We’re very family-oriented. Students use this as a space where they can come in and let loose. It’s just a way of representing that no matter what country we’re from, our families are from, whatever our nationalities, we are one.” The mural mainly features Latinx
culture, but it is also meant to be a tool for promoting inclusion and understanding on campus. In addition to Spanish and English words, the mural also features words in languages like Chinese and Korean. This is part of their goal of showing that anyone is welcome at the LSCC, according to Lyu. “We want people to walk by it and see how there are so many different kinds of people, and we want people who aren’t Latino to come and feel included and be knowledgeable about other races and cul-

The new mural also provides a refreshing aesthetic change for one of the oldest parts of campus, which mainly consists of brick, concrete and pavement. “It looks really cool,” James Philiassaint, a third-year media art major with a concentration in animation, said. “The tree makes me hard work, everything you associate with the culture coming from the roots and helping to build one strong foundation.”
NU professor debuts new gallery exhibit By Glenn Billman news corresPondent
“Inundated,” a new exhibit of works by Mira Cantor, a Northeastern professor of art, was unveiled at the Kingston Gallery in the South End on Oct. 5. The show features nine seascapes she created on her sabbatical to Ireland this past spring. “The sea is such an incredible and inspiring thing to look at, as well as being so scary,” Cantor said. “The dichotomy between that brings to bear the enormity emotions and feelings that exist in life. It’s a metaphor for everything we feel, from the best things to the worst things.” years ago as the leader of a studyabroad program with the Burren College of Art, and she now describes it as her “home away from home.” She then spent March and April of this year painting the series on the country’s west coast, using similar dark shades of purples, blues, greens and greys to depict the sea. She plans to return there for her next series, which will focus on glacial erratics. During her sabbatical, current events such as the drowning of Syrian refugees in the Mediterranean Sea and the 100th anniversary of the Easter Rising reinforced the importance of the sea for Cantor. “It’s just an amazing thing, how it separates people and also brings them together,” Cantor said. “And all my work, my whole life, has been about integration and people getting along and people working

things out, and this just became another element in the history of my work for people to grapple with.” Illesha Khandelwal, a senior photography major at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, met Cantor while she was in Ireland. She now helps Cantor in her studio and has witnessed the works emerge from blank canvases. “She has a really brilliant sense for the way that visual language re-
ally works, and she spends so much time on every small decision,” Khandelwal said. “Like that corner, she probably sat in the studio and looked at it, like ‘should this be the way that it is?’ And repainted it and then repainted it again.” Benjamin Barenblat, a computer engineer in Boston, attended the opening reception and described the exhibit as intense and somber. “It doesn’t speak to me on a

These additions ask viewers to contemplate their awareness or willful ignorance of issues by having them draw the curtains back on them. “Global warming is right outside
our door. The elements could wipe us out at any time, so there’s that precariousness about our situation,” Cantor said. “A lot of the messages in my work have to do with that awareness, that ‘be aware of this’ or ‘be aware of that.’ And ‘open your eyes, look out.’ In a good way, but also in a way that is cautious.” “Inundated” will be on display at the Kingston Gallery in the South End until Oct. 30.
First Church of Christ, Scientist. “It’s probably one of the richest areas of large academic, community and cultural institutions in the country,” Kelly Brilliant, founder of the Fenway Alliance, said. This year, the festival included several new performances and featured public art installations, including several street pianos for the public to play at various locations in the Greater Fenway District. The HTC featured self-guided backstage tours, offering the public one last chance to go behind the scenes of their Boston University Theatre as it currently stands. Since Boston University sold the building to an investment group earlier this spring, the production shop conveniently located in the same building as the theatre will be moved off site. The existing shop is going to be demolished and turned into condominiums, with HTC retaining rights to the theatre. In addition to the tours, the theatre company presented special performances by cast members from their production of “Sunday in the Park with George,” a “costume corner” where people could dress up and take pictures and a hat-painting activity based on a song from the show. “A lot of kids and even a lot of adults joined in to decorate hats, up to the very oldest of our subscribers,” Annalise Baird, research co-
ordinator for the HTC, said. “We were surprised by how well it did. It was packed all day.” The MFA had its annual free day on Monday, also in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. The museum offered art-making activities, tours for families and musical performances throughout the day. MetaMovements, the producers of the free Salsa In The Park lessons, offered salsa lessons in the morning at the entrance to the museum. Working together with Berklee College of Music and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the MFA also hosted the Boston Pops orchestra in the afternoon, featuring 17 of its members. Earlier in the day, two Berklee students played the street pianos for visitors to enjoy. On the Christian Science Plaza Main Stage, the Hyde Square Task Force, an organization dedicated to youth development and civic engagement, featured a performance from their award-winning dance group, Ritmo en Acción. The dance initiative’s lively performance featured teens sharing the beauty of Afro-Latin culture through dance. “People love the idea you can get all this culture in one spot without having to pay,” Brilliant said. “I’d love it if people came and really enjoyed something and came back and paid to support these organizations.” alliance, Page 9

Column: Magic in service industry
Every Saturday and Sunday, I work seven-hour shifts as a cashier at a pizzeria. Since I’m there until midnight, I get to see a lot of hammered college students and hungry football fans. In fact, there are so many of them ordering cheese and pepperoni slices at 11 p.m. that sometimes the line starts outside the restaurant. I learned that when people are hungry for cheap, oily carbs, they are willing to wait in the cold. The great thing about working a mundane food service job is learning to appreciate the little things. After I say “What would you like?” and “I satisfaction in watching the line shorten until it’s gone.
