Eisenman is an associate professor of politics in the Keough School of Global Affairs. His

The midterm election: Voters turn against extremism 

Notre Dame Write to Vote | Friday, November 18, 2022

The midterm election occurred on November 8, 2022 with surprising outcomes. A midterm is supposed to be the time that the opposing party can make up ground for the next Presidential election, in this case a “Red Wave”, but that is not what happened.  Voters rejected antidemocratic and autocratic candidates this election by denouncing many

A Catholic response to voter suppression

Notre Dame Write to Vote | Thursday, November 3, 2022

In the 2020 Introductory U.S. Bishops Letter, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, the bishops call upon “everyone living in this country . . . to participate in public life and contribute to the common good.” The U.S. bishops stress that everyone has to partake in political life in our country. The simplest and most universal

God, country, Notre Dame — and democracy

Letter to the Editor | Monday, February 8, 2021

Among the Trump flags, confederate flags, anti-government, pro-gun and white supremacy flags waved during the Jan. 6 White House rally to “stop the steal” was one that dismayed members of the Notre Dame community: it read “God, Country, Notre Dame.”  This flag’s presence at a rally designed to thwart a fair and democratic election, a

What happened Tuesday night

Jackie O'Brien | Thursday, February 13, 2020

While everyone has been lamenting Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s ripping up of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech as the ultimate display of partisanship and lack of civility, we seem to have forgotten who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom that same night. Our president bestowed our nation’s highest civilian honor on a racist,

The era of stupidity

Mary Szromba | Wednesday, February 12, 2020

Watching Donald Trump stumble his way through his presidency has been a fascinating and depressing experience. How has a man who lacks intelligence, experience and political instincts managed not to destroy his own presidency yet? It seems like he is incapable of stringing a coherent sentence together when it isn’t scripted. How was he still

Asking questions, encouraging meaningful discussion

Andrew Sveda | Monday, January 27, 2020

“So, do you like Trump?” It’s an innocent question (hopefully). A fair one, too. But for years, it’s bothered me. And it’s not that I don’t like politics or think we should ignore the elephant in the room. Quite the opposite. It’s because it’s — obviously — a tremendously loaded question. Answer wrong and pay

Cultural Colonialism

BridgeND | Monday, October 14, 2019

For many, Columbus Day is a 19th century holiday in a 21st century world. It is not a harmless celebration of the old world meeting the new. It is the glorification of colonialism, a catch-all term for the social maladies that no longer plague a diverse and progressive society: paternalism, exploitation, coercive conversion. Yet it

‘Veep’ season 7: New (same old). Selina. Now.

Martin Kennedy | Wednesday, April 3, 2019

After a year-long hiatus from production, the hit comedy and three-consecutive time winner of the Emmy for Best Comedy Series  “Veep” has returned for its seventh and final season. “Veep” stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus (whose fight against breast cancer delayed production of the show) as the dysfunctional and accidental Vice President-turned-President Selina Meyer, who tries to

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.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. 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.
