research-l Mailing List: Re: Welcoming 9 new folks to our Cohousing Research Network listserv!

[LaDona G Knigge (lknigge]

Thank you for welcoming me to the Cohousing Research Network group.  I am a 
professor and department chair in Geography & Planning at Chico State and teach 
courses such as Planning for Sustainable Communities and Sustainable 
Transportation.  I did my PhD at University at Buffalo on the political economy 
of community gardens as their function as public and civic space.  

I have had a long time interest in co-housing and take my students in 
sustainable planning course on a field trip to the Valley Oaks Cohousing 
project here in Chico.  Since my husband passed away four years ago, I have 
thought about cohousing as a way of living in community.  

Last December, I changed the final assignment in my sustainable planning course 
to a group project "Re Imagining Paradise" to consider different strategies for 
providing affordable housing and rebuilding the communities that were decimated 
by the Camp Fire in November.   I contacted the cohousing group for information 
 as it seems like it would be a good option for some when rebuilding or 
building new housing to replace the approximately 14,000 homes that were 
destroyed in the fire Paradise, Magalia and Concow.  I think there is potential 
for some research here if any are wanting to collaborate.  

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce myself to the group.  I am 
planning on attending the Cohousing Conference in Portland in June.  Perhaps we 
can meet there.

Regards,
