Readers of Innermost Parts, I need your help. Innermost Parts could be great. It could be a beacon of smart, progressive thought. It could be the nerve center of student activism on campus. It could be a sort of town square of thoughts on how to reform the university. It could be a union/media/administration watchdog. It could be the hub for news of stuff going on campus. It could any of these things. I’m not sure that it could be all or even many of these things (at once). Where do you want this thing to go?
That decision could be made by you. Join us.
We’re up to pretty cool things, actually. We’re read by by administration, faculty, alumni, and (of course) engaged students. We’ve broken the news of Jehuda’s retirement, helped to organize the successful resistance to unilateral undemocratic budget cuts in 2009, and most recently we organized the Brandeis community to send a positive love letter to the Muslim community on campus after a tragedy. We can push ideas or stories into the Brandeis consciousness, we can influence the student union to work on the side of good, and more besides.
We’re a chill bunch of guys and girls who don’t take ourselves too seriously. We encourage a lot of personal autonomy and create room for creative growth for bloggers. That is to say, there’s a freedom and joy to blogging that is quite a wonderful thing. We have four open positions: blogger, researcher/reporter, social justice community coordinator, and (my favorite) online organizer.
Still want to blog with us? Fill out this application and send an email to
with the subject line “Blogging Application”. We’ll get back to you, arrange an interview, and see if you’re a good fit.
