It’s been one heck of a season, and there’s more to go.
With so much having already been said — on all sides — about tomorrow’s election, I am taking my cue for this column from the Irish poet Pádraig Ó Tuama. Also a theologian and mediator, Ó Tuama will lead a poetry workshop for students at Duke and also join me for a public conversation on “Poetry, Prayer, and Public Healing” on November 19. Ó Tuama’s writing, workshops, and popular podcast “Poetry Unbound” weave together poetry, prayer, etymology and personal testimony to point to truths about ourselves, our relationships and the mystery of God. One example is an Irish proverb he cites in his memoir: “It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.”
Ahead of the start of the Blue Devils' season Monday, our beats are here with season predictions, players to watch and the biggest questions for this team:
After outperforming expectations last year and making an impressive run to the Sweet 16, head coach Kara Lawson is ready to bring her now-veteran squad even further this time around.
There’s a special bond that comes with playing on behalf of the same school; there is another altogether that two players forge when they bear their country's flag on the court. Junior guard Emma Koabel and freshman forward Toby Fournier have both.
Head coach Kara Lawson walked into her ACC Tipoff media availability the same way she always does: cool, confident, collected. In many ways, things felt the same as they have in past seasons. The preseason drive to Charlotte is a business trip: do some photoshoots, answer 30 minutes’ worth of questions in the scrum, do a formal press conference, go on TV for some interviews and then drive back to Durham. This year, Lawson brought two players with her — junior guard Ashlon Jackson was there for her first time, while senior Reigan Richardson came for the third consecutive year.
Kara Lawson is an Olympic gold medalist. Again, again.
No. 7 Duke men’s basketball will open its season against Maine Monday night, and the Blue Zone is here with an overview of the Black Bears along with an X-factor for each team:
Nov. 23 and Nov. 24 at 7 p.m., Duke Chinese Theater will present its fall showcase “Accidental Death of an Anarchist” at the Ruby’s von der Heyden Studio Theater.
President Vincent Price is appointing a working group to address Trinity College's inaugural president Braxton Craven’s ties to slavery, according to a Friday Duke Today announcement.
Starting Oct. 17, the Karsh Alumni and Visitors Center transformed into an early voting poll site for Durham residents — including many Duke community members — for the 2024 general election.
As the lights dimmed in Cameron Indoor Stadium, the atmosphere crackled with excitement. Duke lined up in front of its bench, ready to make its entrance. One by one, each starting player was announced, launching signed mini volleyballs into the stands — a token of appreciation for fans both young and old.
Despite a promising lead at halftime, Duke fell to undefeated Miami on the road and moved to 6-3 on the season. The Blue Zone is here to break down the loss with three key takeaways, stats and a look ahead:
Eighteen colors, 18 teams, 18 school flags undulating in the wind. Hundreds of athletes below, bristling with nerves and excitement, primed to let themselves loose. The shriek of a whistle, then dead silence all around. Boom goes the gun, and all of a sudden, there’s an army racing down the WakeMed hill.
Duke women's basketball lost its two centers last season — Kennedy Brown and Camilla Emsbo — after their eligibility expired. The team's freshman phenom Arianna Roberson suffered an offseason injury that will keep her out for the 2024-25 campaign. Two of The Chronicle's women's basketball beats are here to discuss what that means for the team:
A team that stays together, wins together.
How good is Duke football?
Last season taught Blue Devil fans what Reigan Richardson and Ashlon Jackson bring to Duke. Head coach Kara Lawson, however, could see it from day one.
Early in the second quarter, Charlie van Oirschot seized the ball, artfully lunging away from the perilously close North Carolina defenders. Using the stick as an extension of herself, the graduate student dribbled up the field, carving a path to the shooting circle.
In advance of the 2024 presidential election, The Chronicle is breaking down each candidate’s stance on priority issues, examining their platform and political history to keep voters in the Duke and Durham community informed. In this edition, we take a look at voting rights:
