We welcome Rebecca Walker, who is a Ph.D. Candidate in Urban and Regional Planning at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. Her research considers the intersection of housing, equity, and the environment in American cities.

We’re talking about her paper “Making the City of Lakes: whiteness, nature, and urban development in Minneapolis,” published in the Annals of the American Association of Geography with co-authors Hannah Ramer, Kate Derickson, and Bonnie Keeler in 2023.
