Description: Carleton College alum, Josie Naron, reformats her senior thesis into an accessible, collage-style zine while preserving the same perspective, information, and complexity. Josie examines the dynamics and historical context of public space in Morningside Heights by focusing on Columbia's attempt to build a gym in Morningside Park. She discusses urban renewal, tenant power, and student-community joint protests. -Mikako
