Prison Abolition is a Queer Liberation Issue
(Emory Wheel/Jay Jones) The transformative possibilities of defunding the police and abolishing prisons have entered the popular imagination over the past year. Much of the momentum on the streets gained over the summer of 2020 has slowed down, but millions of people were exposed to the radical framework of abolition. Now that it’s LGBTQIA+ Pride [...]
COVID-19 Immunization Required for Emory Students in Fall
On April 19, President Fenves announced that Emory University would require all students to be immunized for COVID-19 for fall 2021, with exemptions based on medical conditions or strong personal objections. Emory has added the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of already required vaccines for students after extensive consultation with public health experts, vaccine scientists, [...]
A Letter from the Wheel’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force
Almost a year ago, this newspaper acknowledged its lack of diversity, longstanding inequity and barriers to accessibility since its inception in 1919. We vowed that we had a responsibility to uplift and support diverse voices within our newsroom and nationwide. Student journalists operate in a strange space between collegiate and professional worlds, and those at [...]
Looking Beyond the Party Line: the Facts of SB 202
The national outcry over the passage of SB 202, a Georgia law which aims to promote election integrity by amending state electoral procedures, is one of the most egregious examples of political groupthink in recent history.
Drag in Atlanta, Contextualized by Queerness in the South
(Pixabay/nnguyen) Southernness and queerness are often constructed in antagonism to one another. In fact, 21st century novelist Brandon Taylor describes this in relation to his own identity by writing, “I thought that there was nothing worse than being gay and southern, that no two parts of a person could be more in conflict.” Yet within [...]
The U.S. Needs to use Multi-member Districts
The House of Representatives should be reflective of the citizens. It should mirror the ideas, backgrounds, values and needs of every American citizen and not cater to a certain majority.
Decriminalizing Sex Work Protects Asian Immigrant Women in the Spa Industry
Over the last decade, the stigma surrounding sex work has begun to shift from being considered a taboo practice to a more normalized profession in the U.S. Despite the growing acceptance around sex work, the sex trade is still incredibly dangerous. The line between voluntary work and trafficking is easily blurred as women and others [...]
American Tipping Culture is Harming the Food Service Industry | Sophia’s Smorgasbord
(Unsplash/Jessie McCall) The experience of genuine hospitality is a gift. To me, it is a formidable force. It’s more than the attention to detail and the welcoming smiles of the servers, or the quality of the food and the ambience of the restaurant. Done right, hospitality transcends social boundaries. But today, hospitality has been stained [...]

Course Registration Was a Mess, Here’s How to Fix It
Emory University course atlas. The fall 2021 course registration was a disaster for sophomores. Poor turnaround time and lack of knowledge among students on the registration process led to chaos and confusion. Since juniors and seniors were allowed to enroll in classes first, many sophomores found themselves pushed out of required classes for their major [...]
The Black Panthers and Young Lords: How Today’s Mutual Aid Strategies Took Shape
Courtesy of Jay Jones. Mutual aid, a community-based strategy for collective survival and political action, has gained popularity during the pandemic, but communities and social movements have been using it for far longer. Two revolutionary organizations of the 1960s and ‘70s, the Black Panther Party and the Young Lords Party, shaped modern mutual aid with [...]
Georgia O’Keeffe: The Ultraliberal Queer “Security Risk” | Let’s Be Perfectly Queer
Georgia O’Keeffe is one of the most celebrated female modernist American painters of all time, but I heard nothing of her queer sexual practices and liberation until I was a college student studying art history. It should not have taken me years of loving her artwork, especially considering how obvious the sexual imagery is in [...]
The United States is food-illiterate
(Local farming / Smith_cl9) Did you know that 7% of American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows? Just kidding. That might be an inaccurate statistic due to the poorly designed survey, but reams of more accurate data actually show that many Americans are agriculturally illiterate. For instance, in 2011, only 56% of fourth [...]
