Congratulations to MIT DUSP alum Ariel H. Bierbaum on the forthcoming release of her new book, Schools for Sale: Disinvestment, Dispossession, and School Building Reuse in Philadelphia, published by the University of Chicago Press and arriving in June 2026. Building on her dissertation research on school closures in Philadelphia, this book reflects nearly a decade of ongoing scholarship tracing the lives and conditions of these former school buildings. We are proud to see the impact of her work and honored that MIT DUSP helped support her early scholarly journey.
