Please join our Zoom call this Saturday Nov 5th at 10 AM. Our guest speaker, Laura Kiesel will discuss eco-gentrification and other subjects she chooses to address.
We generally don’t schedule teleconferences on successive weekends, but have made an exception in order to accommodate last week’s guest Michael Barnes and Ms. Kiesel.
If you missed last Saturday, you can see Michael’s presentation, "Playing the Housing Numbers Game, How California’s sixth-cycle RHNA was rigged" here: https://youtu.be/jN7DDOylCe0
Laura Kiesel is a Boston freelance writer and editor. Her Bio on SpeakerHub reads:
"As an independent journalist and writer, my articles, essays and op-eds have appeared in many well-renowned outlets, including The Atlantic, The Guardian, Politico, Salon, the Washington Post, Vice, Vox, Ozy, Al-Jazeera America, the New Daily News and others. I have written about everything from the impacts of climate change on agriculture (and vice versa), to rising income inequality between the classes, to living with chronic pain and disease. Having grown up in the 1980s and 90s as the daughter of a drug addict, I am also keenly aware of the effects of the opioid epidemic on children and have spoken on that many times. While my Bachelor's degree is in English and journalism, I attained a graduate degree in environmental science and policy."
We reached out to Ms. Kiesel after reading her Salon article, Why “greening” cities can make gentrification worse — and often doesn’t help the environment either” (https://www.salon.com/2022/02/26/eco-gentrification/)
