| In an essay on the Brookings Institution website, professor Steven Heydemann contends that Assad’s regime is using post-war reconstruction to reimpose its authority and tighten its control over Syria. Heydemann is a Brookings Institution nonresident senior fellow in the Center for Middle East Policy and chair of Middle East studies at Smith. |
Billy Dean Thomas ’14 blends social commentary with music experimentation, writing music about #blacklivesmatter, intersectional feminism and growing up in Harlem. But don't try to fit Thomas in any one category. “People are going to put me in boxes. I’m gonna be so great that you can’t even think about a box.” |
Poet July Westhale talks with Leslie Marie Aguilar, who is the editorial assistant for Meridians: feminism, race, transnationalism at Smith. Aguilar has a master's in fine arts from Indiana University and served as poetry editor of Indiana Review; she also is the author of Mesquite Manual (New Delta Review, 2015). |
