I reviewed the book "Sustainable infrastructure for cities and societies" by Michael Neuman for the Journal of #UrbanAffairs.

My main takeaway: everyone should read and re-read at least Part 1.

I guess it is time for my #Introduction :

Hello beautiful people! I'm Enrique. I'm a #Dreamer (a proud #Undocumented New Yorker), a #CUNY student #activist , doing my Master's in #UrbanAffairs at #QueensCollege where I also did my BA with a triple major in #PoliticalScience , #UrbanStudies and #LatinAmericanStudies. I'm an advocate for #PublicEducation , #HigherEd , #immigration , and just about anything progressive.
As an expert on migration, I'm happy to gradually migrate here from Twitter. 🤣

#introduction I am a political scientist. I have an #MPA in public management and am broadly interested in the impacts of #disasters on #economicdevelopment. I also study #intergovernmentalrelations in the US and abroad. I also do a lot of #yoga (20+ years) and have practiced #ashtanga for around five years. I currently serve as the director of the #urbanaffairs PhD at the University of Memphis.

Hello! I recently switched servers, so I thought I'd do another #introduction post.

I'm a #journalist based in #NYC. Since 2015 I've written primarily for NextCity.org, an #urbanaffairs publication covering social, #racial and environmental #justice in #cities across the country. My specific coverage is a mix of #realestate #banking/#finance #urbanplanning & more.

Since 2015, I've also been self-tracking the race & gender of the sources I quote in my work.

And my cats are cuter than yours.

#introduction Hello!
I’m here—this is weird. Anyway, I’m a political scientist, yogi, and music lover. Follow me and occasionally you’ll hear interesting things about #federalism #politicalscience #urbanaffairs #urbanpolitics #disasterpolitics #research @politicalscience @urbanpolitics @publicadministration @publicpolicy

I see a number of new faces among my followers, so i'll introduce myself.

I'm a freelance #journalist based in Calgary. I write about #UrbanAffairs, #RealEstate, and #Housing—mostly with a #Calgary focus.

But consider yourselves warned. Under absolutely no circumstances expect all of my toots to be, err... professional.
I have a tendency towards bad jokes, snark, and general irreverence.

I'm not super active in here yet, but you can be sure at least i'll be tooting my work in. Fin!
