The ACSA suspended its bylaws to form a secret, unelected committee to review and advise it on our journal’s forthcoming issue on Palestine. After a year of bullshit that ended in the issue’s cancellation, we’ve exhausted our options for salvaging it. Our entire editorial board resigns.

Hard, but necessary. It’s been a privilege to work with this board; among the most principled, generous, kind, brilliant, just, + fiercely tender people I’ve met. Looking forward to building platforms, institutions, languages, potentials + possibilities that have these values and voices. Stay tuned.

Unfortunate, but not unexpected news. I hope the editors find a venue for the contributions, which were submitted last month and were in peer review ahead of last week's decision by ACSA. Maybe a special issue of @nyreviewofarch.bsky.social? www.archpaper.com/2025/02/acsa...

A perfect little case study of the cowardice and complicity that, aggregated across universities and associations, is covering the academic industry in shame. www.archpaper.com/2025/02/acsa...

Very unfortunate that one of the only welcoming and radical institutions in architecture (the JAE) is being detonated by a bunch of MAGA sympathizers on the ACSA board www.archpaper.com/2025/02/acsa...

Spent parts of my career thinking ACSA/JAE wasn't for me, but for the past four years (thx to Nora Wendl / McLain Clutter / great editors + board), JAE has been one of the best journals going. ACSA hasn't "protected" anything—they've unmade it with their own hands. www.archpaper.com/2025/02/acsa...

The Journal for Architectural Education’s Palestine issue — for which I was an issue co-editor — was cancelled by the board of Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture citing risks and “new actions by the U.S. presidential administration” 😐 www.archpaper.com/2025/02/acsa...

"The Asscn of Collegiate Schools of Architecture announced [yesterday] it has canceled a forthcoming Journal of Architectural Education (JAE) edition abt 🇵🇸.... The announcement arrived on the same day McLain Clutter, JAE interim executive editor, was fired by ACSA." Shameful.

Find myself returning for the third time (the first post-Trump 2.0) to Nick Estes’ outstanding history of Standing Rock/#NoDAPL. On the assetisation of land & water; on resistance, community, solidarity. “The rallying cry of Mni Wiconi—‘water is life’—is also an affirmation that water is alive.”

Yesterday, in protest of Harvard University's response to the genocide in Gaza and deepening repression of campus activism against it, I submitted a letter of resignation from my job there. Here is that letter.

1/5… My first meeting with Dave Pitt was a drive-by introduction as I walked past his office in the Landscape Architecture Dept at the U of Minnesota's College of Design, what now feels like a lifetime ago.

A great read by Boyce Upholt, on the Mississippi (a great river that I think about often and miss an awful lot more). This introduction to Chapter 9 reminded me of the amazing Dr. Zoe Todd (who we also miss a - metric - ton, and then some in this neck of the woods.
