How do we first recognize, then un-arrest the mobility of Black and other marginalized people as they move through communities, spaces and places? This excellent book offers workable policy and planning frameworks of mobility justice and racial justice to professionals, advocates, and others.

Fantastic Tufts Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning (UEP) faculty retreat in Falmouth, Cape Cod. After a tough semester, it was good to get away, plot, plan and strategize. We have lots to celebrate but many challenges ahead in supporting students, especially international ones

One of the great privileges of having been 'around for a while' is that you get to watch rising stars going from PhD to full professor and having major impact. Few shine as brightly as the outstanding Dr Nathan McClintock (INRS Montréal). @geographers.bsky.social #AAG2025
