After graduating from the RC in 2011, Carolyn Lusch earned a Master of Urban and Regional Planning degree from U-M’s Taubman College in 2015. Since then she has worked on sustainable transportation and land use planning projects in Michigan and Connecticut, working to shift the sprawling & auto-oriented narrative.
She has published articles on public transportation, pedestrian safety, and writing communities in Concentrate, the CT Mirror, the New Haven Independent, and the Arts Paper. Her fiction has been featured in Carrot Bean Magazine and the Local Lit @ Lotta reading series. She is starting an online lit mag, Lat/Long, to celebrate writing about place, space, and urbanism. You are encouraged to submit!
When not planning or writing, she can be found wandering the streets of New Haven with her spunky 3-year-old, Eli. Her family looks forward to returning to the verdant grounds of the Midwest in the near future!
