Stellan Vinthagen, UMass-AmherstA few weeks ago, Hamas murdered hundreds of unarmed people in Israel, including many children and elderly. The sadism and depravity of this killing spree was remarkable even by the standards of the long history of violence against Jews. Israel has responded with characteristic savagery, killing more than 10,000 Palestinians, including thousands of children. This orgy of collective punishment has also reduced much of Gaza to rubble and dust.My conversation with Stellan Vinthagen offers one sociological perspective on the war based on his work on resistance and social movements.

Why UMass ProtestsActivism thrives at UMass Amherst. As the flagship campus of Massachusetts, UMass Amherst has branded itself “revolutionary,” and its students channel that spirit toward fighting for causes they care about. Student protests at UMass have shaped university policies from the 1960s, when female freshmen had an 8 p.m. curfew, all the way through December 2021, when the Survivor’s Bill of Rights was passed.    In 1969, the U.S. government reinstated the compulsory draft, where young men between the ages of 18 and 26 could be compelled to serve overseas. Many UMass students rose up to fight against U.S. milit...2022-06-1435 minIt Happened in AmherstIt Happened in Amherst5.

When the Pill ArrivesTerminating an unwanted pregnancy, even in the bluest of blue states — Massachusetts, where legislation like the ROE Act promises to secure reproductive rights as they come under fire elsewhere across the nation — can be a tough ordeal. Especially on college campuses, where some student health centers will refer patients to local providers, unable to render abortion services themselves.

In the turbulence of ecological, public health, and political crises, hotspots portend disaster and death.
