Peace and Planning

Instead of a blog post this week, I’m sharing one professional milestone update: I’m really grateful to have had the opportunity to discuss my paper on the conflict system of vehicular violence with Streetsblog’s Kea Wilson on her podcast “The Brake.” It was surreal (and humbling) to talk with someone I have long admired and who does such incredible reporting on our most pressing transportation issues. If you don’t already follow her work and what the rest of the Streetsblog team is up to, I’d highly recommend subscribing to their daily newsletter where they spill all the mobility tea.
