Politics in the United States have become increasingly partisan recently — and divides are deepening. How did we arrive in this moment, and what does the future hold? In this issue, CU experts from law, political science, environmental studies, and women and gender studies shed light on the trajectory of three issues that have become highly politicized. 

We’re also featuring alumni who are changing the world by studying space junk and the shrinking free space in Earth’s orbit and who have launched trending companies like Crocs — those ubiquitous clogs making a comeback across campus and the country. Plus, we’re celebrating Boulder history, from early 20th-century dance cards to its bike-enthusiast culture and the 100-year anniversary of The Sink.

As we head into spring, check out the story on rare birds migrating through campus — maybe you’ll see them on their return trip!

And don’t forget to save the date for the next Coloradan Conversations, an on-campus and virtual event on April 18 at 6 p.m. MT where you can join CU experts and Forever Buffs to discuss how public issues become political.
