Autor

Anita Bakshi teaches in the Department of Landscape Architecture at Rutgers University. She has a PhD in architecture from Cambridge University with the Conflict in Cities research program. At parties as a child, she would ask her aunties for paper plates on which she would draw buildings and people. In high school she drew many versions of city plans of her dream community in spiral bound notebooks. This fascination with buildings and social life has stayed with her and informed her scholarly work on place and memory, contested cities, and environmental justice. Zaire Z. Dinzey-Flores is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Latino & Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University. She has a PhD in Public Policy and Sociology and a Masters in Urban Planning from the University of Michigan. Her interest in the built environment and its interaction with social inequality came from observing and experiencing the many ways in which race and class are codified in the spaces of her native Caribbean. Her research examines how the social becomes spatialized, particularly in housing and neighborhood policy and design, and the consequences of such spatializations for the prospects of equity across the Americas.
