Diskord is a small, progressive online magazine based in the University of Chicago. We intend to fill the void that exists between the student community, progressive causes, and the outside world at the University of Chicago. We provide in depth coverage and analysis of international, domestic, and cultural issues, and a much needed progressive voice currently lacking in student media. In addition to our coverage of current issues, our writers also submit arts and food reviews, as well as poetry and prose.
Our current board members are:
Akshat Goel (Co-Editor), a second year at the University of Chicago. An economics major in denial, a sociology major at heart, the only thing he hopes to gain from college in America is lots of junk food, the chance to see Dave Matthews in concert, and an education. He loves to write those whirlwind articles that just happen in a fifteen minute rush early in the morning, and hopes to find a job that will take him around the world. He is really looking forward to running Diskord!
Annie Pei (Co-Editor), a second year at the University of Chicago pursuing a Political Science/Economics major. Armed with a passion for current events and writing, Annie was thrilled to join Akshat in overseeing Diskord. Besides all things media-related, some of Annie’s favorite things include Jean-Pierre Jeunet movies, the Vancouver Canucks, and her collection of multi-colored eyeliner (no black, black is boring). She hopes to be an investigative reporter someday so she can travel and interact with people from all walks of life.
