"MAIN STREET builds on Mindy Fullilove’s previous works and treats us to one of the most important books about our contemporary towns and cities since Jane Jacobs’ DEATH AND LIFE OF GREAT AMERICAN CITIES. Mindy's perspective on the psychology of place helps us understand a different story, a story of serial forced displacements that have had devastating effects on inner-city communities, and, by extension, to all peoples and all places. This book’s story is not isolated to memory and issues of race, class, and poverty; rather, it builds a strong connection to climate justice and to a more promising future."

Mindy is a social psychiatrist who explores the ties between environment and mental health. She received her bachelor’s degree from Bryn Mawr College and her MS and MD degrees from Columbia University. She completed residency at NY Hospital Westchester Division and Montefiore and is board certified in psychiatry.
With her colleagues at the Cities Researach Group and the University of Orange, Mindy explores the consequences of social fracture for our society and our health and seeks ways to reconnect the broken parts. Prior to joining the New School full-time in 2016, Mindy taught at Columbia University and was a lecturer at Parsons.
She has published numerous articles and six books including Main Street: How a City's Heart Connects Us All, From Enforcers to Guardians: A Public Health Primer on Ending Police Violence (with Hannah L. F. Cooper), Urban Alchemy: Restoring Joy in America's Sorted-Out Cities, Root Shock: How Tearing Up City Neighborhoods Hurts America and What We Can Do About It, and House of Joshua: Meditations on Family and Place.
Committed to amplifying diverse voices, The New School offers more than a thousand public programs and events each year, providing fresh perspectives and unique learning opportunities.
