Title: Disorientation
Description: Student groups at Barnard College and Columbia University welcome new and returning students by asking them to think about attending a global institution that is complicit in oppressive systems. There is an account of the 2014 Harlem Raids and Columbia University's role in the heightened surveillance and displacement of Manhattanville residents, an essay about Barnard College's anti-worker stance towards its employees, and resources for support for trans students at Barnard and Columbia. Various activist and cultural groups, such as Mobilized African Diaspora (MAD), UndoCU, Asian Political Collective, Columbia University's South Asian Feminism(s) Alliance, Lucha, and Students for Justice in Palestine, describe their organizations and their hopes for this school year.
