I helped conduct research on a few oral history projects under Professor Michael Kahan during my gap year:

• One about artist-loft-living legislation and the gentrification of San Francisco’s SOMA neighborhood - I conducted archival research and interviews, and edited this video presentation about the project for Stanford’s Arcade.

• One about the conception of the Program on Urban Studies at Stanford. More broadly, we also investigated the birth of the field and thought about role of student activism in the larger arc of political change in the late 1960s. Prof. Kahan and I talked about the project in an interview for the Susan W. Schoefield Award which we won for the year 2021.

• I also helped conduct some of the background research for another project about the history of housing segregation and restrictive covenants in Mountainview, California.

In my Substack, I write about cities and late-to-the-party cultural criticism.
