This is the most recent issue of Briarpatch Magazine.
In our Spring 2026 cover story, Connor Lea Spencer investigates the ways universities use non-disclosure agreements to silence survivors of sexual harassment and sexual violence. Designed to maintain universities’ reputations, these agreements create a culture of intimidation and enable rape culture on campuses.
Elsewhere in the issue: Rushida Mehreen’s piece on creating more accessible organizing spaces; Brett Nelson’s look at the South Island Workers’ Culture and Education League; the winning entries in our Writing in the Margins contest, from Ivan Beck, Cassandra Meyers, and Rielle Castro; Tara Al-Alami’s reading list on Canadian imperialism; and Tayla S.’ parting shot on imperialism and Iran.
