The State of the Nation: "American Inequality in a time of the Pandemic"
The Office of Population Research is hosting a five part webinar series on The State of the Nation. The first session, called “American Inequality in the Time of a Pandemic” is scheduled for March 11, 2021 3:00 – 5:00pm. This session will lay the ground by engaging participants in reflection over the relationship between the COVID-19 global pandemic and growing inequities in health, employment, housing, political engagement, and social participation. Focus will be on five sectors: African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. How does population level research help us to understand the distinct experiences of those groups?
