Working with so many great people from around metro Chicago and around the country is one of the absolutely best things about being part of @ChicagoCovenant. It's really a pleasure to profile people like Connor and recognize his efforts.

Mapping Inequality has a cache of new maps and we are hiring people to write essays on those cities! Historians, planners, housing advocates -- if you are interested in writing on one of these cities, please let us know: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
I was a sophomore at Michigan for the '97 season and sort of thought, "it will always be like this." There were a couple of very good seasons after that, but it has been a long, long time, even with the last three years of success.
In some ways I’ve been waiting for this @mgoblog post since I was a freshman in college. mgoblog.com/content/way-out

The upgraded version of "Mapping Inequality," the award-winning, foremost digital resource on New Deal #redlining, just dropped today: dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/re…
Kudos and many thanks to @3underscores & @lwinling for the opportunity to contribute to this incredible project
One of the most fun things about this project is featuring the volunteers.
@Loyola_Alumni History alumni - Mary O'Connell featured for her volunteer work with the @ChicagoCovenant project. Thanks for your support of this great project, Mary!
One of the challenges of this project is to keep managing of stream of researchers as they graduate and move on; one of the joys is that these researchers, like Zach, are so skilled and so enthusiastic.

We are back and so excited to partner with @TIMEHistory. Check out today’s pieces (including my analysis of cable news & and a brilliant piece by @bjschulm) & pitch us your ideas!
Knock, knock. Is this thing on? This summer @madebyhistory took a short pause, but we are back — and thrilled to announce our new publication partner, @TIME @TIMEHistory. 🥳🎉🤩❤️
To open a new season of research sessions, we are profiling several of the people involved in the Chicago Covenants Project (@ChicagoCovenant), starting with @MauraFennelly. Check it out.
We begin with our research coordinator, Maura Fennelly (@MauraFennelly). Volunteers know Maura from the sessions she leads. She is a PhD student in sociology at Northwestern University, where she studies housing.

This @propublica reporting about displacement is a good counterpart to the very pro-university pieces on @Marketplace about Colby College's Waterville investments: marketplace.org/shows/market…
“Small colleges, large colleges, small cities, large cities — it was widespread just in the same way that urban renewal, more broadly, is widespread,” says @virginia_tech's @lwinling propublica.org/article/how-v…
I cannot overstate how proud I am to be part of this project -- we've had more than 150 volunteers, have identified more than 1000 covenants, have worked through about 25% of the city of Chicago, and just got a grant to keep going. Come be a part of it!
Still figuring out your post-Labor Day plans? Volunteer with us! We are back in the Tracts Department next Friday.
