JL;DR SUMMARY A discussion with Glenn Frankel, Robert Siegel, Susan Rubin Suleiman, and Amy E. Schwartz about the history of student protests and occupations at Columbia's Hamilton Hall from 1968 to 2024, exploring themes such as divisions within the student body and faculty, free speech, radicalization, and the construction and destruction of barricades. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude. Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
