Dear Members of the Harvard Community,
For years, the federal government’s grants to Harvard have helped lead to groundbreaking innovations. Recently, the federal government has threatened its partnerships over accusations of antisemitism on our campuses. A list of demands was issued, warning that Harvard must comply if we intend to “maintain our financial relationship with the government.” Most of these demands are unprecedented and represent direct governmental regulation of the “intellectual conditions” at Harvard.
They include requirements to audit the viewpoints of our students and faculty, and to “reduce their power” for their ideological views. We will not accept that. The University will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights. No government should dictate what universities can teach and which areas of inquiry they can pursue.
We do not take our moral duties lightly and we have taken many steps to address and fight antisemitism on campus. However, this will not be achieved by assertions of power, unmoored from the law, to dictate how we operate.
Sincerely, Alan M. Garber (President of Harvard University)

Leia o resumo de um artigo científico.
Incels: Masculinity in the Transition to Adulthood
Incels are men who are members of an online community that experiences an unmet desire for sex and blame women for their struggle. Since 2019 there have been several mass murder attacks committed by Incels motivated by Incel ideology creating a threat of future violence. While the vast majority of Incels do not commit such attacks, researchers have begun to study Incels to prevent violence and uncover the true nature of this community. The study of Incels is incipient; therefore, more knowledge about interventions to address the struggles of involuntary celibacy is needed. This paper emphasizes the masculinity strain experienced by Incels who attempt to perform hegemonic masculinity as part of the transition to adulthood but fall short because of their lack of sexual activity. This work proposes the creation and implementation of Incel-specific, online therapeutic interventions and continued research directly with the Incel community to uncover the complexities of Incel experiences.

Inglês
Apresenta-se, a seguir, uma citação (texto 1) que originou uma obra de arte (texto 2). Há também um parágrafo (texto 3) que descreve e explica essa obra.
Texto 1
“I do not always feel colored (...). I feel most colored when I am thrown against a sharp white background.”
(Adaptado de HURSTON, Z. N. How it feels to be colored me. 1928.)
Texto 2
Texto 3
The artist Glenn Ligon has stenciled the sentences over and over until the words dissolve into abstract patterns. He built on a text by Zora Neale Hurston, who describes leaving the protective black community of her childhood and suddenly confronting the issue of race. The smearing in the painting’s illegible words embody her confusion about this, something Ligon builds on: “Oil paint wants to spread out and smudge. After trying to make perfect letters, I realized that the smudging and disappearance of the letters was more interesting than trying to make perfect letters.”

Leia a resenha crítica do filme Joker, publicada no website
da Rodgers Memorial Library, para responder à questão.
Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) is a mentally ill man who
laughs uncontrollably. He works as a clown, gets help from
a social assistant, lives with his mother, and wants to be a
comedian. As the movie progresses, Arthur feels betrayal
from everyone around him, pushing him to a breaking point
as his support system collapses.
Joker is an unusual comic book movie in the sense that
it is a character study. Inspired in part by Martin Scorsese
films like King of Comedy and Taxi Driver, Joker looks at the
need for affection and identity. This contrasts heavily with
action-packed superhero movies. It’s a serious, disturbing
movie that opens itself to critical thinking, not all of it pleasant
as exemplified when Arthur, in a moment of exasperation,
tells his social assistant “All I have are negative thoughts.”
Usually, the Joker is defined by his relationship with
Batman. Bruce Wayne (Batman’s real self) and his family play
an important part in Joker, yet another rich family could be
substituted without changing the plot much. Fleck’s journey is
not as connected to his traditional comic book role as in other
movies and the audience is challenged to ask if he is a villain
or a victim.

New York Giants1 wide receiver Malik Nabers has not
practiced while recovering from a persisting toe injury. While
the concussion has affected his availability thus far, Giants
coach Brian Daboll said there were no concerns about
Nabers potentially missing training camp. Nabers’ toe injury
dates back to his days at Louisiana State University (LSU),
though it does not require a procedural fix. It didn’t cause
him to miss any time as a rookie2 with the Giants in 2024.
He was sidelined for two games while recovering from a
concussion. In spite of that, Nabers still made the All-Rookie
Team and earned a Pro Bowl3 bid after catching 109 passes
for 1,204 yards and seven touchdowns. He broke New York’s
single-season receptions record in the process, surpassing
Steve Smith, and set the National Football League (NFL) record for most receptions by a rookie.
(Will Backus. www.cbssports.com, 18.06.2025. Adapted.)
1New York Giants: a professional American football team.
2 rookie: any player who is in their first season playing professional football,
having never signed a contract with a professional team before.

end poverty, reduce inequality and build more peaceful,
prosperous societies by 2030.
The widespread destruction of the natural world is
weakening the achievement of the SDGs and exposing
humanity’s future to danger. A human-induced triple planetary
crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and
pollution and waste is pushing nature to the breaking point.
That is putting at risk the food we eat, the air we breathe, the
water we drink and the materials and resources upon which
our societies are built.
The triple planetary crisis is stressing most heavily the
vulnerable, including the poor, women and indigenous
peoples. Unless humanity reverses its environmental course,
it will be impossible to achieve the SDGs.

Please let me try to
I can heal the pain that you’re feeling inside
Whenever you want me, you know that I will be
Waiting for the day that you say you’ll be mine
Won’t you let me in? Let this love begin
Won’t you show me your heart now?
I’ll be good to you, I can make this thing true
Show me that heart right now
Who needs a lover that can’t be a friend
Something tells me I’m the one you’ve been looking for, oh
If you ever should see him again
Won’t you tell him you’ve found someone who gives you more?
Someone who will protect you, love and respect you
All those things that he never could bring to you
Like I do or rather I would
Won’t you show me your heart like you should?
