Chomsky speaks on student activism

Claire Lyons | Monday, November 21, 2022

Last Friday, the Program of Liberal Studies (PLS) hosted a discussion with prominent and influential academic Dr. Noam Chomsky. Chomsky is most widely known as the “father of modern linguistics” and for his work as a cognitive scientist and political activist. According to the event’s hosts, he is also one of the foremost critics of

‘There’s always another way’: Student Government leaders plan for successful school year

Bella Laufenberg | Monday, September 19, 2022

Over the summer, Patrick Lee, Sofie Stitt, Nicole Baumann and the rest of Notre Dame Student Government were hard at work for the student body.  Lee, the student body president, explained that he stayed in South Bend to plan for the year and build relationships with administrators, other staff members and cabinet directors.  “I never

Can you speak louder?

Elizabeth Prater | Wednesday, February 16, 2022

Growing up, I was always the shy kid in the classroom. Even if I knew the answer or wanted to contribute an idea, my lack of confidence and spiraling thoughts would prevent me from communicating what I wanted to say. I suppose that’s why I turned to writing; documenting my ideas in a way that

In defense of Arts and Letters

Eva Analitis | Tuesday, October 5, 2021

We’ve all heard the comments — and probably even made them: “Arts and crafts” along with other taunts meant to deride Notre Dame’s oldest and largest college. We students of the College of Arts and Letters ourselves often indulge in self-deprecating jokes about our seemingly foolish majors that supposedly offer us no job security or

Commitment never commences

Joe Everett | Friday, May 17, 2019

”Whatever you value, be committed to it and let nothing distract you from this goal. The uncommitted life, like Plato’s unexamined life, is not worth living.“ — The Hesburgh Papers, 1979. Walking back from one of the last classes of my undergraduate career, I fell into a conversation with an underclassman as we strolled through North Quad.

Hoonhout: Dwayne Haskins, Invisible Man

Tobias Hoonhout | Tuesday, April 30, 2019

“If Dwayne Haskins, as an African American, goes to Duke and puts up those mediocre stats, seventh in the conference, he’s not drafted day one or day two.” I won’t mince words — it is a travesty that the New York Giants drafted Daniel Jones at No. 6 in the 2019 NFL Draft. I know

The importance of disagreement

Tobias Hoonhout | Wednesday, January 24, 2018

For all of the polarizing narratives that dominate the public sphere in today’s America, there seems to be very little actual conversation between sides. This past weekend’s government shutdown is a perfect example — rather than actually sit down at the table find some sort of common ground, both Republicans and Democrats have stubbornly refused

A liberal education in business

Cole Feldman | Monday, March 27, 2017

Katie asked me the other day, “If you could start college over again, would you change your major?” We’ve been playing a lot of these games lately: “If you could start over again … ” When (if) I graduate in May, my degree will be in finance. I told Katie, if I were a freshman

What is called thinking?

Benjamin Padanilam | Monday, February 1, 2016

“What is called thinking?” Most of my classmates from Philosophical Inquiry last semester would laugh when posed with this question. Asking it became a running joke that stemmed from the title of a series of lectures by Martin Heidegger that we read, as it became a symbol our experience as a group in this particular

Good books and great books

Megan Valley | Monday, January 18, 2016

It probably comes as no surprise that I, a Program of Liberal Studies (PLS) major, love books. Even before I could read, I would hoard books from around my house: picture books my dad would read to me and my younger sisters, my mom’s John Grisham novels or really any book that caught my eye.
