The Pen and the Sword

By Kate Pearce Nov. 7, 2024

I am writing to contextualize the recent sanctions imposed on the student publication Written Revolution and its editors; these sanctions carry troubling implications for the state of free thought and expression on MIT’s campus.

Lockheed Leaves The Career Fair: Reflections on the Power of Principled Dissent

By Hana Flores and Kate Pearce Oct. 3, 2024

It is exceedingly clear that MIT weaponizes a facade of neutrality to defend its bottom line. We reject MIT’s presentation of itself as an unbiased arbitrator between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine voices because it is simply untrue.

An Open Letter To The MIT Committee on Discipline

By Kate Pearce Jul. 11, 2024

MIT’s acceptance of $11 million in research funding from the IDF since 2015 is disgraceful; the notion that I ought to sit quietly and ask politely for change seemed nonsensical.

MIT, We Know What Side You’re On (But You Can Change Teams)

By Kate Pearce May. 30, 2024

I am writing to address the “ongoing campus tensions” and the “challenging times facing the MIT community.” This piece is a love letter to the Scientists Against Genocide Encampment and an admonishment of the MIT administration’s brutalities against its own students. It is a plea for MIT to stick by its stated values and devote its resources to the welfare of humanity. More pressingly, it is a call for MIT’s students and workers to stand in solidarity with their peers — rather than MIT as an institution — when it is clear that MIT is building technologies that slaughter civilians.

Making a better world? Define better.

By Emily Condon, Alby Joseph, Eleane Lema, Kate Pearce, Eveline Postelnicu, Celina Zhao, and Edmund Bertschinger Dec. 18, 2020

We believe there needs to be fundamental change to address ethics and the social implications of science and technology in everything we do at MIT. Leadership statements are a start, but not nearly enough.
