Becoming a person of place is Cassandra’s orienting cosmology, and her activist real estate career is informed by this path. She became a real estate agent in 2003 as a single mom needing to support her family, and was compelled to understand how market capitalism prevents so many people from a direct and secure relationship with Earth. She committed early on to learning how to support cooperative living and to find ways to decommodify and deprivatize Land. As someone with mixed European settler ancestry, Cassandra is keenly aware of the paradox of how those with white colonial privilege have often been displaced from land-based culture. Cassandra listened her way forward, guided by the generosity of spirit, mentors, and friends who would help her co-found The Center for Ethical Land Transition. Through the work of ethical land transitions, Cassandra works to transform conventional real estate practice in service to Land, cultural reunion, and reparative justice.

Brooke is an Economic Sociologist studying the offshore financial system and the professionals who run it. Her  research addresses inequality, both political and economic, as well as globalization and the professions.

The findings of this ethnographic research contribute to the literatures on inequality, political economy and the professions. She is the author of several on this topic books including Capital without Borders: Wealth Managers and the One Percent, and Offshore: Stealth, Wealth and the New Colonialism.
