Hibou began as the final project for the Education, Freedom Citizenship course taught by Professor Michelle Kuo in Fall 2017. Professor Kuo felt that there was a need for a greater diversity of student publications that would foster democratic exchange. In particular she hoped Hibou could be an outlet for students passionate about social justice, history, and political change. Over the past two semesters, and with collaboration from 28 wonderful writers, Hibou has produced three issues, and reached 500 viewers in 27 countries, a testament to AUP’s supportive student body. We are so proud to have joined our fellow student publications and to have set this precedent for ourselves.
