There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

"A 'good' depiction for me — not just of Islam, but any religion or culture or character — is one that is nuanced and multifaceted. It's not about creating an archetype to represent an entire group, it's not about 'getting' or understanding them," said Mariam Asad, a Ph.D. student in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication. "That, to me, makes a representation or a depiction feel cheap and exploitative, like it's a static platitude to be consumed and never considered again."
