How does the federal eviction moratorium work? It depends on where you live
Despite a moratorium on evictions imposed by the CDC, landlords are still taking tenants to court, and what happens next varies around the country. The uneven treatment means where tenants stand depends on where they live. “It’s paramount that we have uniform enforcement,” said law professor Emily Benfer, who has been tracking the differing interpretations of the C.D.C. moratorium.

Urban planning needs to look back first: three cities in Ghana show why
History professor Nate Plageman and colleagues published an article on post-pandemic urban planning in Ghana and the indigenous voices left out of past discussions. “Building new cities needs to start with new conversations that place cities like Accra, Kumasi and Sekondi-Takoradi at their center,” Plageman said. “This process starts with seeing and listening to the communities that experts have long excluded from policy debates.”

At Wake Forest, students and their parents got a clear and constant message all summer about the new campus expectations, said Penny Rue, vice president for campus life. Even better, she said, student leaders are reminding other students that the campus experience must be much different this fall.

New study analyzes soaring home displacement rates in Forsyth County
Anthropology professor Sherri Lawson Clark contributed to “Displaced in America,” a year-long national study mapping housing loss led by New America with Local collaborators. The study is raising a broader awareness of the city’s shortcomings: Winston-Salem is a highly racially segregated, and residentially segregated city she said, even when it comes to the poor and the non-poor. “And so, what happens is you have sort of this barrier – many people will argue that it’s Highway 52 that creates that divide – and when we look at who lives east and who lives west and what’s happening there, this New America data also supports those findings.”
