Hi, I'm Victoria.

I'm a Master in City Planning candidate at MIT's Department of Urban Studies and Planning. My work explores international development, political theory, and urban planning in Global South contexts. Learn more about me through my writing. Welcome to my now page.

Here's what I'm thinking about these days:

• How we might climb a hill.

• The ethics of research. Thanks to Eve Tuck and K. Wayne Yang for this piece, and thanks to Mrin Penumaka for sharing it with me.

• Thucydides’ account of the Peloponnesian War. How do we feel about Alcibiades?

• Elon Musk “deleting” US government agencies.

• The Legacy Sites in Montgomery, Alabama. I visited for the first time in January, and I know that that trip won’t be my last. I implore you to go.

Here's what I'm doing these days:

• Listening to 99% Invisible on my walks to campus.

• Snowboarding, occasionally. If I did it more frequently, I might get a season pass here or here.

• Making fondue. Freshly grated cheese is really the trick.

• “What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
