I'm reading the "housing growth" bill passed in a special session without public hearing. There are key aspects of neoliberal deregulation of land redevelopment similar to charter school concept.

It was great to meet Professor Ansley Erickson at the History of Education Society Conference in Providence, RI this past weekend. As soon as I saw her I thought about her scholarship on history of school desegregation and writing on family. Thanks for saying hello, @ansleyerickson.bsky.social!

At a conference with Commission on Racial Equity in Public Health & Health Equity Solutions this morning. The purpose is to learn more from various experts in Connecticut about changes in federal law that reduce public support for food and health coverage (i.e., SNAP, Medicaid).
