Thursday, February 15, 2024
Dear Kew-Forest Community,
It is with great pleasure that we share with you the fifth edition of The Kew-Forest Thinkers magazine, written by Kew-Forest students in the Upper School for all Kew-Forest students. Our team has thoroughly researched, written, and edited several articles to put together a new edition this semester.
Please look through the pages of this February 2024 edition of The Kew-Forest Thinkers and see how our authors and editors have educated themselves and broadened their understanding of the world, seen the world through multiple lenses, and applied their research to form nuanced opinions regarding complex political topics.
We hope you enjoy reading our articles as much as we enjoy researching and writing them for you. To read previous editions, please visit us online here.
And as ever, should you wish to read or learn more, please reach out to the Editor-in-Chief, Hannah Zubatyy '24, at hzubatyy2024@kewforest.org.
Sincerely,
Hannah Zubatyy '24
Editor-in-Chief

The Kew-Forest Model UN Club continues to prepare for the Rutgers University Model United Nations Conference (“RUMUN”). Approximately 20 Club members are planning to attend. Most K-F participants will represent Nigeria on a UN Committee. Within the past few weeks, Club Officers have briefed Club members on various challenges confronting Nigeria and provided an overview of Nigeria’s foreign policy. Club Officers also led training sessions on conducting research and on how to write pre-conference position statements to submit to their assigned committees. RUMUN has begun sharing long background guides on various Committee topics with RUMUN participants so Club members will intensify their Conference preparation in the weeks ahead.
The Club has attended RUMUN many times over the past two decades, most recently in 2019, and is looking forward to returning to this well-established, high-quality conference!
