In preparation for this article, I was sitting in Tisch Library writing questions for interviews when, either serendipitously or ordained by a higher power, I overheard a strikingly topical conversation.
For fans of the TV sitcom “Kim’s Convenience,” the play delivers a sense of deja vu — it’s laugh-out-loud funny, brimming with witty banter and sharp humor. This play, which inspired the Netflix series, premiered in 2011 at the Toronto Fringe Festival. Playwright Ins Choi drew from his own experiences growing up in an immigrant Korean family in Canada. Adam Blanshay Productions presents the Soulpepper Theatre Company production in association with American Conservatory Theater, which runs at The Calderwood Pavilion from Nov. 6 to this Sunday.
At this point, many of us are fairly desensitized to media surveillance. We accept cookies on websites without a second thought, and rarely, if ever, read the fine print on how companies can use our data. In fact, our information is already being sold to companies in order to curate personalized ads based on our search history and website usage. In a media landscape full of data exploitation, it can be easy to lump in personalized pricing as just another way that our information is being sold, one that will not impact our day-to-day lives. However, personalized pricing poses a uniquely serious threat to our online selves.
Making an appearance on the “Hot Ones” YouTube series back in October 2024, Jaylen Brown elucidated one of the best insights on the game of basketball I’ve ever heard. “I look at basketball as like poetry in motion, which is music, and everybody is playing their own song,” Brown commented to host Sean Evans. “Everybody samples from different artists, and they’re playing their own song and if you wanna stop them you gotta study their rhythm.”
Step out onto the grounds of a college campus and there’s a high chance you’ll encounter at least one of these bags swinging off the shoulders of a student: the Goyard Saint Louis or the Longchamp Le Pliage. Hailing from Paris, France, these bags have become the latest microtrend that’s taken control of young adults.
In many ways, the artistic milieu that characterized 1970s New York is still being replicated today. Walk long enough around any neighborhood with hipsters, and you’re bound to find the likes of Patti Smith, Andy Warhol and Fran Leibowitz on a coffee shop table or bookstore display.
Tufts volleyball clinched an early first round victory in their NCAA Division III Tournament run this past Thursday night, defeating Bridgewater State in three straight sets with scores of 25–16, 25–10 and 25–13. The offensive run was lead by sophomore hitter Maiwenn Kamdje and junior outside hitter Claire Castor, who tacked on 10 and 9 kills respectively, with Kamdje's 10 kills being her match-high this season. The season came to a close against No. 1 seeded East Texas Baptist University in the NCAA Regional Final, however Tufts continued to show passion, resilience and grit on the court.
Medford to launch the second round of Project: Pop-Up Medford: Your Tufts Daily Briefing
College campuses are uniquely efficient environments for spreading infectious diseases. Students live in close quarters, share dining spaces, attend crowded classes and frequently exchange drinks, utensils or vapes — all behaviors that accelerate viral and bacterial transmission. Because of these conditions, illnesses such as strep throat, infectious mononucleosis, norovirus and oral herpes tend to circulate widely among young adults. Understanding how these diseases spread, what symptoms to monitor and how to prevent outbreaks is integral for the protection of students’ individual health and the wellbeing of their campus communities.
This past Sunday, Tufts Ballroom hosted their 23rd annual Ballroom competition in the Joyce Cummings Center. The competition welcomed dancers of all skill levels, from newcomers to pre professional. Competitors from across the region competed in both standard and Latin dance styles during this all-day affair, including the Chacha, rumba and swing.
Believe it or not, Somerville was the first city in the United States to establish explicit legal protections for polyamorous and otherwise non-monogamous unions and families. Polyamory is also decidedly common in Somerville; in fact, Willie Burnley Jr., city councilor and recent mayoral candidate, is openly polyamorous and has advocated for said protections for polyamorous and non-monogamous unions.
The second round of Project: Pop-Up Medford will transform 348 Boston Ave. into a shared retail space for three small businesses from November 2025 to January 2026. The project — a collaboration between the City of Medford, Tufts University and retail incubator consulting firm UpNext — provides microenterprises with the opportunity to promote their work, try new business models and learn how to operate a retail storefront.
You may have heard the phrase ‘demographic cliff’ tossed around recently.
Reading my rants about humanitarian crises around the world, the philanthropically minded among you may have thought to yourselves: How can I lend a helping hand to people thousands of miles away?
Every step of one’s life requires all we have learned in the past to succeed. As Walt Disney famously put it, “to succeed, work hard, never give up and above all cherish a magnificent obsession.” One Tufts alum in particular embodies these words: Joshua Reed-Diawuoh (A’13).
When there’s a holiday like Thanksgiving that is specifically dedicated to giving thanks, some might end up only explicitly doing so that one day out of the whole year. However, not commonly known to many people is the fact that the entire month of November is National Gratitude Month, giving us all an entire month to reflect on the positive aspects of our lives. It may sound a bit cliche to tell you to be more grateful, but I believe that a lot of people take the many blessings in their lives for granted.
As my mom and I crossed out of the Southwest into Arkansas, we came face-to-face with Fort Smith. For those who don’t know, Fort Smith is widely considered the last stop on the Trail of Tears, a genocidal displacement of southeastern Indigenous people. At Fort Smith, Indigenous people were sent into what is now known as Oklahoma, which the U.S. government deemed “Indian” territory at the time. While I was nervous to explore this site, my Mom and I thought it was important to sit with the pain of this place.
William Shakespeare is, arguably, the most influential writer in history, with lines that have been parroted both in and out of the context of his plays for centuries. “Hamnet” is a testament to the timeless power of Shakespeare — for the long-cliched words “To be, or not to be,” somehow feel as fresh onscreen in 2025 as they must have onstage at the start of the 17th century. “Hamnet” is the newest film from director Chloé Zhao, based on the novel of the same name by Maggie O’Farrell. It is a work of historical fiction about the life of Shakespeare, focusing on his wife and children rather than his work.
Clockmaking runs in the family of Richard Hills, an antique horologist and owner of Hills Antique Clocks in Holliston. Throughout high school and college, he worked in his brother’s repair shop in Wellesley and, after graduating, continued clockmaking on the side while working as a bioanalytical chemist.
The Tufts Office of Public Safety has advised members of the Tufts community to avoid Soarbody Therapeutics, a sports massage therapy business in Somerville, due to inappropriate behavior by its owner, Sam Peck.
