Given the cost and risk, the only reason to send a human being to Mars is to foster international cooperation, writes an emeritus professor of history who’s also a former NASA historian.

In an interview with The Chronicle, Duke graduate Macon Phillips talks about postponing his wedding to work on the 2008 Obama campaign, whether he would advise students to take a gap year to work on a campaign and other topics.

Shows like the new Netflix documentary make the public aware of distortions that occur in the legal process. “But unless our empathy generates demand for greater procedural integrity, only the narrative will change while the system stays the same,” says a Duke law professor who is a former federal prosecutor.
Doctoral student David Winski writes that we primarily remember Martin Luther King as the Nobel Peace Prize-winning civil rights leader, but in the last years of his life King turned his attention to the economic disparities in America that he felt made the achievement of political equality ring hollow.
