On Saint Mary’s College and feminism

Kylie Henry | Monday, October 11, 2021

Personally, I’ve never declared myself to be a feminist in good faith. Once, when asked what I love about feminism — I turned to womanism. I turned to history and asked, what would white feminism have done for the black, the queer and the other in me? The only thing I’ve ever done is declare

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
