Dyson Criminal Justice Professor and Department Chair Cathryn Lavery pens a compelling op-ed in The Hill, urging Americans to listen to Epstein survivors and confront the systems that perpetuate silence and complicity.

Executive Director of the Pace Women’s Justice Center, Cindy J. Kanusher, powerfully addressed President Trump’s dismissive remarks about domestic violence in a widely shared statement featured in The Independent. “Domestic violence is not a private matter or a misunderstanding. It is abuse. It is a crime. And it must be treated with the seriousness it demands,” she said. Kanusher emphasized that minimizing these crimes sends a dangerous message to victims, potentially silencing them and impeding justice. Her remarks have added critical legal and moral context to the media backlash around the issue.
Dyson Political Science Professor Laura Tamman speaks with Newsweek about the narrowing NYC mayoral race. Speaking on Andrew Cuomo’s long-shot chances, she noted it’s “difficult to envision any scenario in which Cuomo wins more votes than Mamdani,” even if Eric Adams or Curtis Sliwa were to drop out. Her insight reflects the uphill challenge for anti-Mamdani candidates to consolidate voter support.
