Community Poverty Reduces Social Mobility for Rural Children

This week we’re excited to host Assistant Professor at Arizona State University’s School of Geographical Sciences and Urban, Dylan Connor. Dr. Connor will be presenting his research on intergenerational mobility for children in rural areas. This research documents the effects of chronic or worsening community poverty on the life chances of children growing up in low-income rural households.

You can register for the seminar HERE, and check out all the upcoming topics and register for future seminars on our website.

After the seminar, CSDE Trainee David Coomes will facilitate a graduate student discussion with Dr. Connor. Students will have the opportunity to discuss research collaborations, professional development, academic publishing, and interdisciplinary research, among other topics. To RSVP, please send an email to David (dcoomes@uw.edu).

This seminar is co-sponsored with the Population Health Initiative.

AAPOR Inclusive Voices Award Presented to the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS)

The American Association of Public Opinion Research awards the Inclusive Voices Award annually to recognize the important data sets, research, and survey methods that have improved the ability to study complex social phenomena related to understudied populations. While the NLAAS stopped data collection in 2004, the resulting data are still being used today. Margarita Alegria and CSDE Affiliate David Takeuchi were the PIs of the NLAAS project. NLAAS resulted in over 150 publications focusing on Latinos, AA, or both and has helped build the publication records of many emerging researchers.
