So I wrote an article for a publication that our group is putting together called Common Ground. It's about the National Human Rights Commission of Thailand, who has recognized a community's right to participation in natural resource management as a human right. Several of the communities we've visited this semester have filed violations with the NHRC, citing this right. So I spent the last week researching these cases and others from around the world and interviewing a Commissioner from the NHRC, and I wrote a 2000 word article.

Then, the editors said, "we want you to write about a community garden in Los Angeles." Easy enough transition, right? Turnaround time, 24 hours.
