Open to the entire campus community, Amy T. Khare, a research affiliate for the National Initiative on Mixed-Income Communities, will present her latest paper, “Fair Housing and Inclusive Communities,” part of The Grand Challenges for Social Work.
Hosted by the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, this event will be held Tuesday, Oct. 3, from 12:50 to 1:50 p.m. in the Mandel Community Studies Center, Room 108.
What is the cost of racial and economic segregation? How is segregation in cities, such as Cleveland, changing over time? What approaches can be taken to address both concentrated poverty in communities of color and concentrated affluence in predominately white communities? How can social workers organize to advance inclusion and equity across different communities?
Khare will share her finding from her latest “Cost of Segregation” research, conducted with the Urban Institute, that quantifies the economic cost of racial and economic segregation. She also will preview a set of policies and strategies she is developing to advance equity and inclusion within a variety of neighborhoods.
Registration is available online.
A boxed lunch will be included.
