New commentary from Marccus Hendricks and I examining what we are calling "municipal undergreening," a systemic reluctance of municipalities to invest in green infrastructure in low-income communities of color. Such an honor to work with Marccus on this! https://doi.org/10.1080/14649357.2022.2147340

Anna Serra-Llobet, Jessica Ludy, and I are at #ASLA2022 in San Francisco this Saturday! Our panel discusses flood inequities by examining the mechanisms keeping recovery funds from the poor (South Texas), placing it in the hands of the affluent (Montecito). Come join us!

Reading about 1965's Hurricane Betsy and its uncanny similarities to 2005's Hurricane Katrina. It's so infuriating that so little has changed.

Happy to join this space! As my first post, I thought I'd share my lab's resources on environmental and climate justice. Great for anyone doing syllabus development for next semester! We will be updating and restructuring the resources throughout November! https://www.just-environments.org/resources

imo if you wanna stop being addicted to twitter or whatever you just need to care less about knowing what all the other people in the world are doing and thinking all the time. cultivate a rich inner world. bake a book. read a bread. touch moss. eat mud. chase a large grazing beast with your claws and fangs. healthy things like that
