Anxiety in the Age of Donald Trump
While finishing my morning coffee, I recently listened to an interview with Anne Helen Petersen, whose 5th of January essay entitled ‘How Millennials Became The Burnout Generation‘, had gone viral on the internet. Petersen’s arguments about the trials she endures in an era of economic and political instability prompted me to think about and put into the larger context the recent expressions of anxiety voiced by two of my own students here at University College Maastricht. Their fears relate to the intentional disregard of the causes of climate change and the willful neglect of security cooperation at the transatlantic level.
