What is the “Builder’s Remedy” and how can it help with our State’s Housing Crisis?
Get PDFCalifornia has been facing a housing crisis for decades. In an effort to address this pervasive lack of housing, the Housing Accountability Act outlines the "Builder\u27s Remedy," a tool that defines specific requirements that when met, allow developers to bypass local jurisdiction\u27s zoning and procedures. This article analyzes and reviews elements of the Builder\u27s Remedy and its intended future impact. Although it is too early to measure the effects of this tool on the ongoing housing crisis, the "Builder\u27s Remedy" has already added a significant amount of inclusionary housing to the development pipeline, especially in historically exclusionary areas

Grief Work: Being with and Moving Through A Resistance to Change in Teacher Education
Get PDFThe ongoing pandemic and an outpouring call for racial, economic, gender, disability and climate justice have incited a rupture in our “normal” ways of being, knowing, and relating. As teacher educators, we have yet to fully “acknowledge the rupture” (Roy, 2020), grieve what we may have lost, and reckon with our underlying responsibilities to ourselves, our students, and to each other. Integrating personal narrative and pedagogical reflections, in addition to building upon apocalyptic, abolitionist, and embodied frameworks, I explore our collective and complicit hesitance to change in teacher education. I turn to therapist and somatics scholar Resmaa Menakem’s (2017) distinction between dirty pain and clean pain to explore these questions and unravel the necessary embodied skills to move from the dehumanizing habits of schooling to a humanizing praxis of education. I offer that transformative education requires building our willingness and capacity to grieve
If I Knew Then
Get PDFBrooke Boal is a student at Durham University studying BA Philosophy and Theology. She is originally from the seaside town of Fleetwood, Lancashire. During her time at university, Boal struggled to navigate her first-generation identity; however, over the past three years she documented parts of her life in a diary. The diary was intended to be a reflective exercise to help her understand her feelings and experiences, as she knew that she wanted to gain a more positive mindset. Three years later, she shares some of her personal diary entries to present the most authentic version of her story. Boal addresses her former self to highlight how she came to be proud of her first-generation status. She intends to share her diary entries to show other readers who may also be experiencing a hard time in their lives that everything does get better
Bumping up against the Pioneer: being FIRST
Get PDFMartin Shiel-Diego is a Spanish-born Geordie and first-gen history and politics student. This, alongside a healthy dose of punk music and ideals, has born a constant fascination with the why of identity creation and interaction. In this piece, he seeks to explore both the universal and particular aspects of what being first-gen means, and the constant torsion resulting from such an identity. The piece takes the form of a narratively driven polemic, through which he hopes to construct a commonality of understanding between the intersecting facets that constitute the lives of first-gen scholars
