All It Takes Is One Block: The Legacy of Redlining in Lethally Surveilled Neighborhoods

We are excited to host Emory University Associate Professor Ali Sewell as our guest speaker for this week’s CSDE seminar. Drawing on historical data of state-implicated redlining, the research they will present considers the interlocking web of violence between communities and the people designated by the state to protect them.

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 Maxine Wright will facilitate a graduate student discussion with Dr. Sewell. Please RSVP to attend by emailing Maxine (mkw1208@uw.edu).

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

New Research from Kenworthy & Igra Explores Medical Crowdfunding and Income Inequality

UW Today featured new research from CSDE Affiliate Nora Kenworthy and UW Sociology student Mark Igra last week. The source article, published in the American Journal of Public Health, analyzes data from GoFundMe campaigns between 2016 and 2020. Augmenting this data with state- and county-level measures of income and medical debt, the authors explore the relationship between crowdfunding success and income inequality.
