This year, the Charlatan is bringing new meaning to the term 'special issue.' The COVID-19 pandemic has spotlighted some of the structural inequalities that have plagued the systems and institutions all around us. While these issues have always existed, the pandemic has sparked new conversations and reinforced ongoing activism.

With this special edition issue, we hope to highlight stories of Carleton community members and others alike who are making their voices heard on issues that matter to them.
