Yurii Kosach Poet, writer, and dramatist; nephew of Lesia Ukrainka; grandson of Olena Pchilka. After graduating from the Academic Gymnasium of Lviv, Kosach studied law at Warsaw University. He began publishing short stories in student newspapers in 1927. Between 1928 and 1929 he published most of his works in the nationalist journal Literaturno-naukovyi vistnyk edited by Dmytro Dontsov after he had broken off his relations with Dontsov in 1929. After the war he lived in displaced persons camps in Germany and was an active member of the writers’ organization MUR. In 1949 he immigrated to the United States. By far the largest and most interesting body of work is Kosach’s prose, written prior to his emigration to the United States and then in the last decade of his life, first of all Enei ta zhyttia inshykh (Aeneas and the Lives of Others, 1947) where he argued the issues of new Ukrainian culture with so called “lost generation”.

Canadian University Press (CUP) is a co-operative national student news group that produces a news service and unites student newspapers across the country. Since its establishment in 1938, CUP has brought campus newspapers from across the country together to share news and information as well as training with one another. From 1965 to 1991 CUP's policies stated that the major role of the student newspaper was to "act as an agent of social change." During this time CUP and its members took on an educative and active political role. Using CUP as a case study of a politically engaged press organization that saw its role as an active participant in the events it reported, this thesis illuminates the factors that can encourage a politically engaged press taking into consideration both theory and practice. This study examines the factors that made it possible for CUP to act as an agent of social change, how that role was interpreted, and the changes that resulted in the organization moving away from that role.

A practitioner research study was carried out with 31 students who were enrolled in a course on contemporary Israeli society at a Zionist Jewish high school. As part of a unit designed to introduce students to criticisms against Israel, students watched 3 videos produced by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement and by university student newspapers. The study assessed whether watching videos of BDS behaviours negatively affected the ways that pro-Israel students learned and thought about Israel. Reflective exercises and interviews revealed that the videos did not harm students’ relationships with the country. Instead, while some students reported feeling intimidated and scared by BDS’ tactics, all 31 students reported that watching the videos was crucial for helping them prepare for life after high school and for understanding the criticisms made against Israel. A surprising finding of the study was that many students shared that having the opportunity to discuss BDS together as a group not only helped them better understand BDS but, more importantly, allowed them to feel less alone by forming a community that banded together through the learning of difficult and upsetting content.Une étude par un praticien en éducation a été menée auprès de 31 étudiants inscrits à un cours sur la société israélienne contemporaine dans une école secondaire juive sioniste. Dans le cadre d’un module conçu pour initier les étudiants aux critiques d’Israël, les étudiants ont regardé 3 vidéos produites par le mouvement Boycott, Désinvestissement et Sanctions (BDS) et par des journaux étudiants universitaires. L’étude a évalué si le visionnement de vidéos qui mettaient en scène des manifestations BDS affectait négativement la manière dont les étudiants pro-israéliens apprenaient et pensaient à propos d’Israël. Des exercices de réflexion et des entretiens ont révélé que les vidéos n’avaient pas nui aux relations des élèves avec le pays. Plutôt, alors que certains étudiants ont déclaré se sentir intimidés et effrayés par les tactiques de BDS, les 31 étudiants ont tous déclaré que regarder les vidéos était crucial pour les aider à se préparer à la vie après le lycée et pour comprendre les critiques dirigées à l’endroit d’Israël. Une découverte surprenante de l’étude est que de nombreux étudiants ont partagé que le fait d’avoir l’opportunité de discuter du mouvement BDS en tant que groupe les a non seulement aidés à mieux comprendre le BDS mais, plus important encore, leur a permis de se sentir moins seuls en formant une communauté qui s’est regroupée tout au long de l’apprentissage de contenu difficile et bouleversant.

Chapter two follows Beatriz to the University of Concepción to study medicine. It examines the type of medicine she studied in the early 1960s, how this related to evolving ideas about development, and how it shaped her political convictions. Young Chileans tended to follow their parents politically, especially when it came to the Left. But it was only in Concepción that Beatriz began understanding the basis for her loyalty to the Socialist Party independently of her father. In this respect, her visit to Cuba in the aftermath of Chile’s 1960 earthquake was decisive. In Havana she also attended the First Latin American Alongside a significant generation of students who would come to lead Chile’s revolutionary left in subsequent decades, studying a particularly socially-driven medicine at the university at the time, she began to act politically in her own right on a local stage through her involvement in study groups, student newspapers, and elections.

Background Beginning in the 2013–2014 school year, students across colleges and universities in the United States created a series of campaigns similar to the original I, Too, Am Harvard photo campaign (which focused on highlighting the negative campus climate for black students at Harvard University). Purpose This study illuminates some of the reasons why students decided to mobilize in order to provide a clearer understanding of what students are identifying as problems on college campuses. Subjects Evidence in this study is drawn from two sources: student newspapers from campuses with a campaign supplemented by interviews with students who were involved with the campaigns. Research Design This qualitative case study uses both the newspapers and the interviews as sources of evidence. Results We find that the campaigns were primarily motivated by negative campus climates for students from historically marginalized populations, and that these climates were in place before the movements emerged. The campaigns developed within a larger macropolitical context in which there was a larger focus on inclusion. Also, the movements tended to have a specific focus on exposing microaggressions, providing a space for students to speak out, and expressing solidarity. Conclusions If institutions have a vested interest in creating more welcoming environments, then proactively addressing the experiences of students on campus, expanding the scope of diversity initiatives to include this focus, and providing spaces for students to be able to express and discuss their experiences may be critical to success.

The article examines the problems of the modern print media in the context of intercultural and intergenerational dialogue. The article analyzes the current scientific literature and the opinions of leading experts expressed in the media on this issue. Large periodicals, as well as student newspapers, are faced with a lack of funding, their materials are not creatively different, and so they are losing their audience. How can the print media survive the competition with the digital media? This publication explores the solutions to these problems. Special attention is paid to the transformation of the university (student) press on the example of the Moscow Pedagogical State University newspaper ”Pedagogical University”. The publication serves as a link between different generations, timely notifying students and staff of the most significant events at the University and beyond. The editorial staff strives to make each issue of the newspaper suitable for a wide audience. The necessary approaches to the study of the student media problems are identified, recommendations are given for improving the work of editors. Keywords: journalism, press, print media, University press, newspaper, student newspaper, student media

The political communication of the Chicana/o student movement of the 1960s and 1970s took place primarily through various forms of print media, with campus based student newspapers figuring prominently within that particular historical moment. At their peak, at least 48 Chicana/o student newspapers were produced on campuses throughout the country, marking these publications as both the principal and ideal format through which the flow of cultural and political information was channeled between movement publics, both on and off college campuses. Yet, the history of these publications has not been thoroughly documented, nor has the discursive legacy of this form of communicative resistance been fully examined. This paper provides a brief history of the emergence and significance of these student newspapers on campuses across the United States, focusing on how campus activists established this form of community media to help advocate on behalf of Chicana/o students and their broader publics.

This paper explores the 1968 moment in the British University of Swansea. It discusses four main flashpoints of protest and unrest that occurred there from 1968 to the early 1970s. Much of the evidence is drawn from local and student newspapers, which chronicled these events by watching them very closely and reporting not just on what happened but also on what students and members of the surrounding community thought about them. This is cross-referenced with small examples of the author’s oral history collection that he has compiled as part of his research. By using these sources and by taking evidence to form a broad picture, the paper suggests that, in the late 1960s, whilst the events taking place in Swansea were dramatic, they did not represent a majority of what the student body at the time thought, or how they behaved. This was partly a result of Swansea’s provincial character and its inherent social conservatism. A more crucial period, when the tone regarding student unrest really started to shift, was the early 1970s. Therefore, it is important to continue thinking of these events in terms of a «long 1968».
