Seminar (12:30-1:30 PM): Where the Hood At? Fifty Years of Change in Black Neighborhoods

Abstract: Substantial gaps exist between Black Americans and other racial and ethnic groups in the U.S., most glaringly Whites, across virtually all quality-of-life indicators. Despite strong evidence that neighborhood residence affects life outcomes, we lack a comprehensive picture of Black neighborhood conditions and how they have changed over time. In Where the Hood At? Michael C. Lens examines the characteristics and trajectories of Black neighborhoods across the U.S. over the fifty years since the Fair Housing Act.

Speaker: Michael C. Lens is a professor of urban planning and public policy in UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs.

CPIP Reception (1:30-1:45 PM): The Center for Population, Inequality, and Policy will introduce new faculty affiliates and make other announcements.
