Dear readers,
We hope everyone has had a relaxing holiday and is ready to kick off the new year! Continuing our recognition of new voices contributing to this issue on ‘Pride’, we would like to welcome Aki and Katie.

Emma looks at the grand scheme of social structures in the animal kingdom. For when pride goes too far, Katie writes about honor killings. Given that sports is a uniting factor across many cultures, Anika considers the world of fan culture. Following this, Sara tackles the ins and outs of toxic masculinity by shining a light on individual experiences. Tan explores ideas of materialism in the philosophies of stoicism and cynicism, while Aki sheds light on how pride can negatively manifest itself in academia. Lastly, Vadim and Christine share a personal piece on how they feel about pride in their native country, Germany.
As for our columns, Laura features a slam poem by Maya titled “Straight People” from Youth Speaks’ Queeriosity space. Anne explores our (mis)interpretations of narcissism in the Athena column, Izzy reviews the film documentary, The Death and Life of Marsha P. Johnson for Camera Obscura, and Berenike visits Stedelijk Museum for their YOUTH exhibit featuring the work of Anne Imhof. Pondering growth in the New Year, Anushka dives into the psychology of legacy for Capture and how we would like to be remembered. Evita breaks down the reasons to study psychology at the UvA in this issue’s International Classroom piece, based on an interview with Ingmar Visser. With an inspiring corridor, Laura looks to professors instead of students to understand what it means to be working as a woman in STEM. Finally, Evita gives her take on performative activism for the Bacchus.
Pride is a complex emotion, often seen as a double-edged sword. We noticed this in our editors’ broad interpretations of the word. Bearing this in mind, we’re curious to see what you think and hope you enjoy our latest issue!
