Hope you’re all surviving the brisk fall weather! I just wanted to share the information for a “Brown Bag Series” here at Rutgers-Camden. I’ll be addressing what I see as a central puzzle in our cities: why do community groups protest investment and development in much-needed neighborhoods? And what does it tell us about how we can address communities concerns about gentrification? The paper, titled: ‘They’re Not Building It for Us’: Displacement Pressure, Unwelcomeness, and Protesting Neighborhood Investment is available for free at the link. 

I hope to see some of you there!
