Jeremy Lee Wolin is a PhD candidate in History and Theory of Architecture at Princeton University. His dissertation examines the creation of a racialized model citizen in the Model Cities Program, a Great Society initiative that expanded upon existing urban renewal programs to include coordinated social programs and a mandate for citizen participation. His research examines how the program's spatial productions shifted across Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, and white participants, altering the meaning of “model” based on the places and people upon which the label would land at the precise moment of the model minority myth’s conceptual emergence.
Within the School of Architecture, Jeremy is a research assistant for the Black Architects Archive and an editor of the SoA journal, Pidgin. Outside the SoA, he co-organizes the IHUM-Effron Fac-Grad Asian American Studies Reading Group and the Effron Center for the Study of America’s Asian American Studies Lecture Series. Previously, he received Princeton’s Sherley W. Morgan, Class of 1913 Fellowship and worked as a research assistant for the Meadowlands: A National Climate Park. His art and writing have appeared in e-flux, Entropy, and Repair: Sustainable Design Futures.
Prior to Princeton, he interned at the Jewish Museum and worked at OMA, where he was editorial assistant on OMA NY: Search Term. He graduated from the Brown-RISD Dual Degree Program, where he worked at the RISD Museum and on the Mapping Violence digital humanities project.
