Current Issue

Vol. 133 (2026)
Published June 10, 2026
Dispatches from the First Day of School in the Trump 2.0 Era

This issue examines how educators are responding to a rapidly intensifying political climate marked by censorship, anti-DEI legislation, restrictions on teaching race, gender, sexuality, and history, and broader authoritarian pressures on schools and universities.  Together, the essays explore both the crises teachers and students face in the Trump 2.0 Era, and the strategies educators are using to create spaces of care, political clarity, resistance, and radical possibility.
