Description: Before he graduated, men's national collegiate baton champion Tim Lyzen (Steinhardt '19) had the Yankee Stadium crowd holding their breath during his live performance at the 2019 Commencement Preshow.

Despite a fractured skull, an eye injury, and surgery to repair his hip, Tim remains committed to the sport, which he pursued alongside a full academic courseload. "I train 4 to 5 hours every single day like an Olympic athlete," he said. "However, people don’t really understand that this is a rigorous sport that requires that much energy and dedication. It’s hard to balance that with work and internships and school on top of it. But it’s given me time management skills!"

Still too many persons of color feel hemmed in by limited opportunities and a hostile environment, as was dramatized in Native Son. The discussion considered how tools of control and punishment fall short in addressing systemic failures and ensuring that those who write and enforce the laws remain accountable to the communities they serve. The panel also explored opportunities to take a comprehensive approach —in public and behavioral health, education, jobs, and housing—in order to prevent crime; reduce violence and recidivism; and close opportunity gaps.

Panelists for the evening included Dr. Stacey Houston, II, Assistant Professor, George Mason University, Ari Roth, Founding Artistic Director, Mosaic Theater Company, NJ Mitchell, Co-...

Keepers of the Flame delves into the archives of the Irish Military Service Pensions and what emerges is a truly personal retelling of a brutal and divisive period in the birth of a nation and the devastating legacy it left in its wake, for the individuals who took part and their families who suffered long after the fighting ended. More than 85,000 applied for the Irish Military Service Pension. Just over 18,000 received any payment.

Why do Children View Nationality as a Fundamental Aspect of Identity?

Title: Why do Children View Nationality as a Fundamental Aspect of Identity?
Runtime: 0:45
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: Young children see national identity, in part, as biological in nature, a perception that diminishes as they get older, finds a new study by psychology researchers. But despite changes in views of nationality as we age, the work suggests the intriguing possibility that the roots of nationalist sentiments are established early in life.

“As children grow up, they continue to think an individual’s nationality is a stable aspect of their identity—not linked to biology, but nonetheless something that is informative about who they are as a person and reaching beyond the formalities of citizenship,” explains Andrei Cimpian, an associate professor in New York University’s Department of Psychology and the senior author of the study, which appears in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. “To speculate, it is possible that the nationalist sentiments seen among adults may be partly facilitated by psychological processes that ...
