The staff of Colloquium would like to condemn in the strongest terms the acts of hate that occurred this weekend at Boston College. Racism has no place on this campus or any other.

We stand in solidarity with other BC students, faculty, and student organizations, and will continue to do our part to ensure that this campus is inclusive and welcoming to students of all backgrounds.

Meet Our Authors: Will Twomey

Will Twomey, MCAS ‘19, is a Political Science major and Arabic Studies minor. Will is from Ridgefield, Connecticut and he reads the New York Times. Will’s course of study led him to write a piece on American privacy laws and their modern implications in the electronic age, which will be featured in this issue of Colloquium.

Will stated that writing this piece heightened his awareness of the “sometimes contentious relationship between civil liberties and national security.” Pick up a copy of Colloquium this spring to read Will’s piece and witness this dichotomy!

Meet our Authors: Camille Ford

Camille Ford, MCAS ‘18, is a double major in International Studies and Islamic Civilization and Societies. Camille hails from Geneva, Switzerland. This European background fueled Camille’s interest in the Muslim experience in Europe, inspiring her to write her piece that will be featured in this semester's issue of Colloquium, “American Nativism and Islamophobia in Germany: Drawing Parallels.”

Camille reads The Atlantic, and when asked what she gained from the process of writing this piece, she referenced the knowledge gained about “19th-century America and the immigration influx which defined this period of history.” Be sure to pick up a copy of Colloquium this spring to read Camille’s piece!
