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).
