I’m so proud to announce Compass’ Fall 2019 Issue. The papers we’ve published this year reflect all of the vibrant, interdisciplinary work that is happening within Gallatin. Our authors have spent time in the Brooklyn Museum Archives looking at textiles and on the beaches of Kaʻū, Hawai’i hunting for signposts of the Anthropocene. Authors like Boheng Zhang investigated pressing humanitarian concerns in her investigation of terminology of ethnic and religious minorities in China while Liam Pitt offered an analysis of the East Side Coast Resiliency Project.
I commend all the hard work the editors and authors put into these projects after the past semester and I am wishing everyone a restful break. I am also excited to announce our first ever Winter publication for experimental forms coming January 2020! Keep your eye out.
