Christia's Clearinghouse (no sweepstakes, either)

There is an old saying that it is the cobbler's family whose feet are perpetually ill-shod or even unshod. Such is the way with web site compilers-- or with this one, anyhoo. Although I have grandiose schemes of eventually posting personal writings on some set of pages one day, in reality my own pages have remained rather sparse, without even the requisite list of links to my favorite sites. Ah well...

What I can give, however, are links to sites which I have worked on (past, present, and future). Like y'all are interested in seeing pictures of me, my (non-existent) dog, and my friends anyhoo. ;.)

Pages I've Known/Worked On:

Williams College Center for Environmental Studies

Now in the capable hands of Leigh Greenwood, these pages were developed and maintained by yours truly while I was an Envi concentrator at Williams (1995-1997). The CES site contains plenty of useful stuff, from information on the Hopkins Memorial Forest to lists of weekly Log Lunch topics to a list of current job openings with environmental organizations.

Berkshire Connect

I do not actually maintain this site, although as an intern and Associate Planner for the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission, I was intimately involved with the Berkshire Connect project, which seeks to provide Berkshire County, Mass. with high-quality, cost-efficient Internet access. February 2000: They've announced a partnership to establish a high-quality, telecom network in Berkshire County that will serve the needs of businesses, non-profits, schools, etc. Yahoo!

Williams Project on the Economics of Higher Education

My work on these pages was mainly basic set-up and maintenance; the current webmaster has spruced things up a bit.

CP 268 (West Oakland Community Development Studio) Resource Page

February 2000: I have volunteered to compile a resource pages of sorts for my class. Oh yeah, the class is part of the Department of City and Regional Planning at UC Berkeley, where I am currently working towards a Master of City Planning degree. (Bu wa haha!)

From Mill to Museum: A Research Guide to the Industrial Development and Labor History of North Adams, Massachusetts

This project is the on-line version of the annotated bibliography on industry in North Admas, which I compiled over the summer (of 1997) as part of a research internship funded by the President's Office at Williams College and supervised by Robert Dalzell of the History Department. I am now continuing work on the project, adding site maps to provide researchers with a sense of the physical context of the site.

Global Women's Project: Nicaraguan Women's Organizations

These pages are a somewhat painful topic for me, since they were actually supposed to be completed sometime in the spring of 1996, after my trip there in Jan. '96 with the Global Women's Project. Parts of these pages are written, but they don't seem to adequately capture my experience in Nicaragua or the organizations themselves. It doesn't help that I feel that I should also be writing them in Spanish, while my command of the Spanish language has deteriorated to a somewhat basic level after being out of high school for 4.5 years now. I would however, eventually like to sit down and get these hammered out. We'll see what happens.
