I contributed descriptions of seven sites and additional research to this collaborative project published in 2020 to tell the stories of the San Francisco Bay Area. As the introduction to A People’s Guide to the San Francisco Bay Area explains, “…we are interested in how people have created longstanding institutions and the spaces in which ephemeral acts of politics, revolt, care, and hope take place. We are concerned with histories of oppression and with struggle, as well as moments of power-building and success of movements in transforming political-economic conditions toward a more human scale.” (University of California Press: 2020)

As part of my work with Shaping San Francisco, I contributed copyediting, proofreading, production, publicity, grantwriting, and collateral material design work to Ten Years That Shook The City: San Francisco 1968-1978 (City Lights: 2011).

In 2012 I co-edited Shift Happens!: Critical Mass at 20 (Full Enjoyment Books), a celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Critical Mass, founded in San Francisco.

Why Is That Bridge Orange?: San Francisco for the Curious is another book I co-edited in 2013, a fun decoder ring for San Francisco history, monuments, and oddities by Art Peterson.

I worked as Tom Cole’s researcher on the 2013 reissue of A Short History of San Francisco (Heyday Books), and the updated version’s afterword contains a couple paragraphs of my written reflections on Ohlone ceremonial bear dances.

In 2014, I edited Mae Silver’s Stars on the Diamond, a book about early women’s softball written in honor of her aunt.
