Dear readers,
Welcome to Volume 58, Issue 2 of The New Journal.
In our cover story, Alex Moore ’26 interrogates Yale’s artificial intelligence culture. AI is here. Machines churn out essays and problem sets, professors scramble to rewrite syllabi, and a mass cheating scandal raises the question: what does a college education look like now?
Elsewhere, David Rosenbloom ’25.5 explores Rosette Neighborhood Village, an unorthodox alternative to traditional homeless shelters. Our other writers search for answers to tree afflictions, trace the genealogy of artworks, and bolster a space for queer community amid federal threats.
Technological progress, policy changes, puzzling phenomena. In this issue of The New Journal, join us as we navigate institutions in flux.
Searching,
Chloe, Calista, Mia, Tina
