    In the middle of Boston, he’s growing food for good


    Every morning during the week, Northeastern student Yasser Aponte navigates the tight, densely-packed streets of Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood until the streets suddenly, almost without warning, give way to a lush, two-acre farm. It’s there that Aponte (literally) rolls up his sleeves, and gets to work weeding, watering, harvesting, and planting food for his community.

    Brexit ‘is a British problem,’ not a European Union problem


    It was a new take on the college course, and it offered a different take on Brexit.

    France is reeling from its third major attack in 19 months after a lone terrorist sped a truck into a crowd of people gathered to watch Bastille Day fireworks. The attack killed at least 84 people and injured more than 200 others. We asked Northeastern experts to analyze these types of “lone wolf” terrorist attacks, the media’s use of graphic footage from the scene, and what the terror in Nice could mean for the European Union’s security procedures.
