5 | THE ISSUE September 2010
September 13th
"This is a worthy initiative with a lot of promise. Its success depends on students,
students who take the trouble to share their ideas in a format that ought to allow
for more thoughtfulness than one often gets in blogs.”
Dr. Stephen Brooks Professor, Department of Political Science University of Windsor
“I am very excited about this initiative. I believe it is extremely important to raise
students' awareness of global issues. We live in an interconnected world: issues that arise elsewhere in the world touch and affect us in many ways. This publication would also give an opportunity to many students to sharpen their journalistic skills.
I wish you success.”
Dr. Tanya Basok Director, Centre for Studies in Social Justice University of Windsor
“I love the concept of a zine on third world issues written by and for students. It is
an initiative that, having started at the University of Windsor, will soon involve
contributors from many places and a worldwide readership. I look forward to being
one of those readers.”
Dr. Roy Amore Professor and Associate Dean, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
University of Windsor 2010
“I believe this to be a great forum for students, and the community at large to learn
about relevant issues that the media touches on, but with a pluralistic perspective.
I hope "The Issue" becomes a regular feature in our campus and we can count on it
to hear multiple voices on multiple topics.”
Enrique Chacón Advisor, International Student Center
