Harvard Newstalk

A note before our regular episode this week. In the days following Hamas’ attacks, the war in Israel and Gaza has reverberated across Harvard’s campus. Backlash against student groups. Widespread criticism against the University’s response. A thousand-person rally that stretched across Harvard Yard. The Crimson is committed to providing extensive coverage of all this and more. Stay on top of the news by following The Crimson’s website (thecrimson.com) and our multimedia platforms.

This week on The Harvard Crimson's Newstalk, reporters Ryan H. Doan-Nguyen '25 and Yusuf S. Mian '25 join host Frank S. Zhou '26 to discuss the findings of an inquest into the police killing of Sayed Faisal — and the backlash the report has sparked among some residents. Also in this episode, Rahem D. Hamid '25 talks about Claudia Goldin, the first Harvard professor to win a Nobel Prize since 2019 and the third woman ever to win a Nobel Prize in economics.
