The Syllabus

Meet Raphi Gold, a Gen Z’er without social media, or even a smartphone. She’s unusual, and not just because she tries to observe the Jewish Sabbath, taking Saturdays off from work, or because of her passionate interest in the environment. Here’s the kicker: she has a flip phone. And no social media. She’s the college student you didn’t think existed.  Raphi’s choice to stay out of the constant barrage of notifications, stories, and tags may leave her behind on the minute-to-minute updates on Israel and Gaza — and sometimes her friends’ social plans — but is that the healthier choice? Mark Oppenheimer asks Raphi how she hears about Israel and Gaza without any of the sources that her friends rely on. Guest Bio: Raphi Gold is a Sophomore at Princeton University hoping to study English and minor in Environmental Studies and Journalism. At school, Raphi writes for the Daily Princetonian newspaper, manages the Princeton Garden Project, and engages in climate activism through Divest Princeton. In her free time, Raphi loves running, baking, and embroidery.

What is The Syllabus?

Every week, a different guest joins Mark Oppenheimer to talk about politics on American college campuses. Politics are roiling college campuses across the United States. Whether the topic is the Middle East, affirmative action, Title IX, or something else, students and faculty seem to have controversial opinions—and they aren't being very civil in talking about them. To cut through the noise, and to find out what teachers and students really think, journalist, historian, sometime professor, and college administrator Mark Oppenheimer is joined by teachers, students, and administrators to give their uncensored view from the ground (or the quadrangle, or the fraternity or sorority house, or the dining hall, or the dorm, or the playing field). The Syllabus is produced by the Office of Open Learning at American Jewish University in partnership with Inside Higher Ed.
