Deficit perspectives on low-performing urban school districts--I would like the archive to actively document the strengths of the school district and the things that bring students, teachers, and community members joy.Also, the exclusion of physical space as an issue in education discourses (and the inequities in environmental hazards that that exclusion brings).

I really want to run a photovoice project with students in Santa Ana high schools. This lends itself really well to the creation of a photo essay in collaboration with the students, whose transcribed accounts of the photographs would accompany them. These photo essays might be focused on the infrastructure of a particular school, what a student encounters on their daily travels to and from schools, or a hazard that they're familiar with in their neighborhood, among other things.
I built an organizational profile of SAUSD here: https://disaster-sts-network.org/content/santa-ana-unified-school-distr…
Mapping! I'd like to figure out a way to integrate my maps (https://arcg.is/1fDbHr and https://arcg.is/0O1L9m) into PECE essays, rather than just linking to them. Ideally they would also be interactive, as they are on ArcGIS StoryMaps.
Most recently, I came across this project and have found both the list of missing data sets to be very compelling, as well as the question the creator raises of the “advantages to nonexistence.” From the archive: "Missing data sets" are my term for the blank spots that exist in spaces that are otherwise data-saturated. My interest in them stems from the observation that within many spaces where large amounts of data are collected, there are often empty spaces where no data live.
Mexico/U.S. migration - Approximately 50% of Urequío’s population migrated permanently to the Southern California cities of Long Beach and Wilmington following the U.S. Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, with continued migration occurring in subsequent years. Freeway expansion, refineries, environmental injustice in the Harbor Region - These areas face severe environmental risks--including abnormally high cancer and asthma cases--due to their proximity to the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports (Barboza 2020).
Research questions as formulated at start of fieldwork:(1) How have differently positioned people, in Mexico and the United States, been involved in the development of Urequío’s water infrastructure?(2) What processes, exchanges and communication infrastructures have supported water infrastructure innovation in Urequío?(3) How do experience of environmental vulnerability in Southern California and Urequío motivate and shape Urequío’s infrastructure innovation?(4) What kinds of knowledge infrastructure can support collaborative, community-scale environmental stewardship and infrastructure in

The archive was designed to push against the idea of who can be considered an expert on infrastructure, on climate resilience, on climate change, etc. It’s designed to draw attention to and hold a record of “non-professional” labor and forms of expertise.
