Overview

I am engaged in a long-term project to study demographic changes in Boston’s North End due to both immigration and gentrification. We will be working at various levels with the North End Historical Society. Aspects of the project include research on census data, redlining and banking/real estate policies, evolution of community groups, rise and history of restaurants, changes in tourism, historical sites, and evolving notions of neighborhood identity. Participants will have various opportunities depending on interests and current needs, which may include library and online research, photography, interviews, and field work/observations/restaurant work.
