Notes: We thought building a repository of commentary/reflections/opinions would be a good starting point. However, this repository will continually need new material. As you come across news stories or other interesting essays/podcasts/articles, please pass them along to: facultycenter@newpaltz.edu.
We have provided PDF versions of some of the articles; however, many of these are not accessible to screen readers. As a result, we have also provided direct links to the articles in the parentheses following each article.
