Media

Below are some selected appearances in various media:

Farooqui, Usmaan. “Talking Trash.” The Quotient, March 2021: https://thequotient.substack.com/p/episode-5-talking-trash

Interview on Pedal People, local waste systems, and challenging the concepts of efficiency and technological progress.

Woodring, Ruthy. Out There. Valley Free Radio, January 2021. Split over episodes 201, 202, 203.

Wide ranging interview starting with following me on a downtown trash shift in Northampton, followed by a sit-down interview on Pedal People, waste, environmental destruction, disposability, and infrastructure.

Fieldman, Luiz. “Pedal People Trash Collectors Take Extra Caution during Pandemic.” Daily Hampshire Gazette. March 24, 2020. https://www.gazettenet.com/Pedal-people-and-transfer-stations-amid-coronavirus-epidemic-33493580

Most of the photos in this front-page article are of me doing a Pedal People route during the pandemic. I’m referenced as “a carrier who is a candidate for a doctorate degree at the University of Massachusetts,” but not directly quoted.

Chesin, Caeli. “‘Massachusetts 2050: A Warming State’ How an Environmental-Focused Business Launched a Northampton Community Member into Politics.” Amherst Wire. April 2, 2021. https://amherstwire.com/36498/campus/massachusetts-2050-a-warming-state-how-an-environmental-focused-business-launched-a-northampton-community-member-into-politics/.

Again photos of me doing Pedal People work, this time downtown trash shifts. The article is mostly about Alex Jarrett, a Pedal People co-founder and now City Council member.

Green, Emma. “Seeking an Escape From Trump’s America.” The Atlantic. January 15, 2017. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/01/anarchism-intentional-communities-trump/513086/

Quoted on challenges to forming and sustaining egalitarian intentional communities, although the article was mostly framed in the context of reaction to Trump’s election.
