Via "law enforcement 'rescue teams,' unhoused people will be "involuntarily taken" for "treatment" at this isolated facility run by management consultants who are in the business of "lives, of humans, of souls." I am surprised that Urban Alchemy has not bid for this contract. tinyurl.com/ycyzuctf

New OA article w @johlsson.bsky.social (& D Mitchell). We argue the concept of justice is more commonly implied than it is theorized in relation to justice scholarship and offer a qualitative approach to guide scholars through assessing and justifying justice-related research. tinyurl.com/3tvjdnvx

Publication day! The Injustice of Property is available from the great @ugapress.bsky.social. The book details how property in liberalism constrains common attempts at ending homelessness, despite land use practices of un/precariously housed people rejecting the proprietarian logic of liberalism.

Hear Street Roots' editor K. Rambo talk with @opb.org about their recent story on Portland's homeless encampment sweeps, copublished by @streetroots.bsky.social / @propublica.org last week. It's hard to ignore the policy choices that contribute to these outcomes. www.propublica.org/article/port...

Urban Alchemy is changing the game for homeless governance in U.S. cities. My new article traces how Portland went all in on UA, and how the City's development of mass encampments w/ UA has differentiated who does and does not get support. bit.ly/4h8CwEy

New article traces the history of one site in Portland (OR), from Chinookan dispossession through displacement of a homeless encampment, to show how private property enactments differently produce 'improper' political subjects to justify their exclusion: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
