Environmental justice, the hard way
Eschewing the lecture hall, Dara O'Rourke's students learn about equity — and humility — from the grassroots up

By Barry Bergman, Public Affairs | 02 March 2005

Undergrads Vivian Choi and Kathleen Rubio spent part of the fall semester looking at disparities in Bay shoreline access for high- and low-income communities. Their classmates, Nina Rizzo and Charles Kirubi, helped open-space advocates in North Richmond explore locals' attitudes toward an endangered wetland, while freshman Talia Levitan led a team in puzzling out what to do when restoration efforts bump up against homeless streamside dwellers.

...

Freshman Talia Levitan, who intends to major in Italian and legal studies, found environmental-justice issues cropping up even in environmentalists' efforts at stream beautification. Her project for Friends of Five Creeks, a group dedicated to restoring degraded creek areas in the East Bay, was to recommend protocols for dealing fairly with homeless people — an issue that arose when Five Creeks volunteers encountered a homeless encampment at the so-called Albany Bulb.

Let's see if they care

Finals are going great here in jericho! Land. A couple of us are already done (Jonty) while the rest of us are not (the rest of us). A couple of us now have free time (Jonty), while the rest of us are stressed and somewhat depressed (the rest of us). A couple of us see a point to life (Jonty), while the rest of us wish it was possible to crawl back into the womb and cry for days (Edwin).

To celebrate, here is a picture of Hawa with Friskers, the cat:


Glorious!

Time to fly into
the storms that lie before me.
Persevere or die.

Good luck everyone!

Olde Wikipediaee

Thanks Edwin! Appreciate the last post.

A while ago some stranger posted up a wikipedia page about jericho! To this day, we don't know who did it, even after it was deemed worthless by the Wikipedia editors and erased.

I did some googling and found the cache of the old wikipedia page:

Jericho (comedy troupe)

jericho! is an improvisational comedy troupe made up of students of the University of California - Berkeley. Their first show was October 14, 2005. Its original members consisted of: Talia Levitan, Beverly Hong, Jonathan "Jonty" Lee, Moujan Zolfaghari, Cathy Fullerton, Amos Vernon, Jonathan Lewis, Sam Ou, Laura Scherrer, Dave Thomason, Steve La, Hellen Jo, Alex Curtis & Chris Dong. Its current members are: Talia Levitan, Jonty Lee, Moujan Zolfaghari, Cathy Fullerton, Amos Vernon, Jonathan Lewis, Laura Scherrer, Dave Thomason, Steve La, Chris Dong, Ryan Field, Ellen Young, Edwin Zee, Stacey Matthews, and Krismin Inocentes.

The group performs Longform improvisation and sketch comedy in its 60-90 minute act. They can be seen performing on the Berkeley campus and around the Bay Area in various other external events.

jericho! Show this Fri/Sat

New incentive: If you come to the show and bring seven friends and a stranger..then give me a wink (MZ) and I will make sure Edwin names a character after you in an improv set, gives you a 2 minute hug after the show (hand exploration allowed/encouraged), and treats you, three of your friends and the stranger to Chez Panisse for a delicious brunch on Sunday, May 6th.

More jericho! incentive

If you bring five friends to the show, come see me. I will name one of the characters in an improv set after you.

jericho! Show show show

Oh dear me. Last show of the semester.

Please attend.

Incentive!: If you attend and come shake my hand (MZ), I will let you pick any jericho! cast member you desire (except me). You will then share a 10 second hug. Hugs duration depends largely on the mood of the Hugging jericho! Member. For best and longest results, chose Russell. For worst and most awkward results, chose Hawa.
