Susan Silberberg is a writer, urban planner, photographer, educator, speaker, and former MIT Lecturer. She is a road trip enthusiast and owner of a 1970 911T Porsche, affectionately known as The Blue Car.
Susan's first Blue Car short article debuted in Hagerty Drivers’ Club Magazine in 2024. She is amassing a collection of essays chronicling her thoughts and experiences on her 14,000-mile road trip across the United States and is working on her memoir.
In a previous life Susan was an assistant to a magician, sang and danced in community theater, and rode a motorcycle (but never simultaneously). She may do those things again in the future…if the right opportunity comes alone.
For the moment, after three decades of consulting, teaching, and research, Susan’s continued travels and explorations, with and without the Blue Car, provide much topic material for her writing and photography. In addition to writing and speaking, she occasionally advises public sector clients, businesses, and organizations on arts and cultural issues, land use planning, and real estate development.
