Dear Readers,
Volume 58, Issue 3 of The New Journal examines the city through different lenses: aerial, retrospective, and fish-eyed, to name a few. We pull our focus back to longstanding conflicts in the city and long-gone moments on campus. Coming into the new year, our writers offer new angles on old issues.
In the cover story, Kade Gajdusek ’27 scrutinizes a decades-long rift over the character of Connecticut’s cities and towns. After Governor Lamont signed a controversial housing bill two months ago, new mandates on suburbs may alleviate New Haven’s affordable housing crisis. Josie Reich ’26 bursts out of the archives and into a meeting with members of the New Haven Women’s Liberation Movement from the 1970s, asking, What now?
Elsewhere, writers peek into diorama boxes scattered across the city, grapple with opening up to a pastor at the New Haven Church of Latter-Day Saints, and tiptoe toward the remains of Stanley Milgram’s obedience experiments in the basement of Linsly-Chittenden Hall. Join us from these new vantage points.
With hope for warmer days soon,
Chloe, Calista, Tina, and Mia
