    Fennell will complete a book that follows the transformation of a Chicago public housing complex into a mixed-income, racially diverse “new community.”  She will also examine how legal arguments and public sentiments fixated on the decay of Chicago public housing have impacted its former residents’ pursuit of legal redress and political recognition.
