🔥Today, I'm proud to launch the Mapping Racist Covenants (MRC) interactive map! The MRC project explores the geography of racist housing covenants across Tucson subdivisions, focusing on those enacted between 1912-1968. The map is available at: https://t.co/dLCQFMS6QV

Tech firms shape cities to generate data for their digital products, creating a feedback loop: they invest in urban property & design spaces that capture and reinforce consumer preferences.

Excited to see this out in @dig_geo! Fun and insightful to examine mundane file formats through the mode of production. This paper looks at the histories of GeoJSON and the Esri Shapefile.

🗞️NEW LAW in AZ takes down barriers for those wanting to redact racist language from their CC&Rs👍

📍Our paper 'The Ground Rent Machine' is out in @theAAG! Using critical quant, we illustrate the uneven and racialized geog of ground rent in Baltimore (roughly 1 in 3 homes), shaping the geog of segregation and housing inequality. Grateful to @dillonm my dear friend + colleague.

[Dillon Mahmoudi @dillonm]

Excited our paper "The Ground Rent Machine" is out in @theAAG, which tells the story of racial dispossession thru a little known legal mechanism: ground rent. A dream to collaborate with @JasonJurjevich, engage in crit quant, and decline-as-urbanization.

@lori_poloni @JeannineRelly Thank you! And thanks again for all of your support.

@TucsonProgress Turnout is closer to 13.9% using a more accurate denominator (CVAP, not registered voters, 110,575/798,113). Low turnout raises this question: why are we holding elections for Tucson mayor and council in off-year elections?

[Jason Jurjevich @JasonJurjevich]

@AppDemography @theHauer Huge congrats, Matt!

@GeogSara Thanks, Sara!

University of Arizona researchers have mapped more than 200 Tucson subdivisions with racist housing restrictions in their founding documents. https://t.co/F7zub014FE

[Jason Jurjevich @JasonJurjevich]

This work is not possible without a rockstar research team, including Yoga, Chris, Liz, and Claire, and funding from a 2022 @MellonFdn Borderlands grant from @uazlibraries, as well as support from @SGDE_UArizona @UArizonaSBS @PimaRecorder and community partners! 3/3

In 2021 we had to sign Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CCRs) that contained racist language, presenting African American and Asian individuals from residing in our subdivision. Being a geographer, I knew I needed to tell the story of exclusion/discrimination with a map. 2/

[Jason Jurjevich @JasonJurjevich]

Join us next Friday, Aug. 25 as we present our interactive web-based map highlighting the geography of racist Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs) in Tucson that were enacted between 1912-1968. Funded by the 2022 Mellon Borderlands grant funding from @uazlibraries.

@CoreySparks1 @Coleridge4Data Many congrats, Corey! @Coleridge4Data is fortunate to have you!

[Jason Jurjevich @JasonJurjevich]

This is a great step forward for data👇

[Claire Kamp Dush @ClaireKampDush]

I just want to thank @dcvanriper, @RRHDr, @wmannin, our students, and @NICHD_NIH and in particular the Population Dynamics Branch for supporting this new resource. You can download contextual data on structural racism, sexism, cis-heterosexism. Read about it below. #SBECCC

Friday! Join our Housing Dept. for this important conversation 🏠
