Storytelling has never looked the way it does now. For most young people, the days of getting the news from a paper picked up at a local newsstand or sitting down to watch a few hours of nightly news on cable television. Today, short blurbs laid atop eye-catching Instagram graphics or easily digestible minute-long TikTok explainers have replaced long-form text and talking heads.

I want to dedicate the film “A Brighter Summer Day” (1991), directed by Edward Yang, to my family in Penghu Islands, Taiwan. Penghu Islands, where my mother grew up, is an archipelago of tiny islands in the heart of the Taiwan Strait.

Carlos Museum’s Ackerman Hall — catching up, complimenting each other’s work and preparing for their joint reading, acutely named “Three Poets: A Reading with Victoria Chang, E. Hughes and Lauren K.

Trump’s tariffs will terrorize American pocketbooks

Jan 23, 2025 | emorywheel.com | Pierce McDade

You do not need an economics professor to tell you that tariffs are generally poor economic policy. Despite that, the of tariffs — including deadweight loss and possible retaliation — were a daily topic of conversation in my economics class, Global Trade and Finance.
