Jeremy is a scholar of the built environment focused on historic intersections between architecture and planning, state policy, and social movements. His current book project, Cities After Civil Rights: Designing Minority Citizenship in the Post-Renewal United States, chronicles the built legacy of Black, Asian, Latine, and Indigenous organizers who worked within Great Society urban programs. The book reveals how the spaces these efforts left behind—daycares, social service centers, community-based schools, cooperative housing developments, and neighborhood health clinics—shaped a new “minority citizenship” inherently vulnerable to the trends of decentralization, privatization, and retrenchment that have shaped urban policy ever since. As part of this project, he is developing a digital index of historic sites rooted in the War on Poverty.
He is also at work on a second book project, Model Minority Urbanism, which examines how the “ethnic enclave” has operated within urban planning from the nineteenth century to the present. In the 2026-27 academic year, he will be researching the role of Asian American community-based organizations in affordable housing construction through a research fellowship from the UMass Boston Institute for Asian American Studies.
Jeremy’s writing has appeared in Planning Perspectives, the Journal of Urban History, the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, and several public-facing outlets. He is currently serving as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Pratt Institute School of Architecture. He received his PhD in Architecture from Princeton University in 2026 and holds a BA from Brown University and a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design.
