Hello team,

 

Chris and I were just discussing the possibilities of using the topic of gentrification within our upcoming diversity/contact thematic weeks... I'm posting this as a forum to begin to discuss the possibilities of this idea - how we might address Gentrification within the ELA and SS contexts and ways that we might build curricula off of this.

 

Jen, Chris, others... any ideas?!
