SUMMARY:After DEI: Imagining a Different Future for Race-Based Policies
DESCRIPTION:Location: Elebash Recital Hall\, CUNY Graduate Center\nRegistration required. \nJoin us for sociologist Adia Harvey Wingfield’s lecture on DEI\, inequality\, and the workplace. This event is the closing lecture in our annual “Inequality by the Numbers” workshop. \nIn the wake of organized backlash and federal opposition\, many organizations are taking steps to downplay or dismantle their existing diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) programming. This stance has prompted disputes over DEI’s effectiveness\, shortcomings\, and potential. Adia Harvey Wingfield argues that in an increasingly diverse\, multiracial society\, the more important question is not whether DEI has value\, but what will follow it. Organizational behavior will have heightened significance as work becomes both more automated and more relational\, thus producing new ways of maintaining racial hierarchies. To resolve this\, she considers various factors that precipitated attacks on DEI and suggests that rethinking policy orientations can help close racial gaps in rapidly changing workplaces.

We also welcome applicants with backgrounds in journalism\, nonprofit organizations\, and other fields outside of academia. Applicants should be comfortable with presentations and readings that rely on quantitative research and analytic methods. About 50 to 60 applicants will be selected. \nInstruction will begin daily at 9:00 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m.\, and there will be an hour-long break for lunch. Each day will end with 30 minutes for research consultations. \nSpeakers: \nConfirmed speakers thus far include Maria Abascal\, Jordan Conwell\, Miles Corak\, Janet Gornick\, Lane Kenworthy\, Paul Krugman\, Leslie McCall\, Branko Milanovic\, Núria Rodríguez-Planas\, Florencia Torche\, Van Tran\, Hannah Walker\, and Wenfei Xu.

SUMMARY:Inequality by the Numbers 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Inequality by the Numbers workshop takes a broad approach to the study of socio-economic inequalities\, spanning gaps in income\, wealth\, employment\, wages\, education\, social mobility\, politics\, health\, housing\, the impacts of climate change\, interactions with the criminal-legal system\, and other topics. Instructors view inequalities through multiple lenses\, including gender\, sexuality\, class\, race\, ethnicity\, age\, and immigration status\, as well as through multidisciplinary perspectives. Disparities are considered in several geographic contexts: within New York City\, across the U.S. states\, across countries\, and globally. \nStructure:\nThis workshop is targeted to Ph.D. students and early-career scholars who work in a range of social science disciplines — including anthropology\, economics\, sociology\, political science\, psychology\, public policy\, social work\, and related fields — and have concerns about and an interest in better understanding socio-economic inequalities. We also welcome applicants with backgrounds in journalism\, nonprofit organizations\, and other fields outside of academia. Applicants should be comfortable with presentations and readings that rely on quantitative research and analytic methods. About 50 to 60 applicants will be selected. \nInstruction will begin daily at 9:00 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m.\, and there will be an hour-long break for lunch. Each day will end with 30 minutes for research consultations. \nSpeakers:\nConfirmed speakers thus far include Deborah Balk\, Jacob Faber\, Nancy Folbre\, Martin Gilens\, Janet Gornick\, Michelle Holder\, Jaquelyn (Jackie) Jahn\, Michael Kraus\, Paul Krugman\, Tina Law\, Leslie McCall\, Bhashkar (Bhash) Mazumder\, Lauren Melodia\, Branko Milanovic\, Salvatore Morelli\, Suresh Naidu\, James Parrott\, Núria Rodríguez-Planas\, Daniela Tagtachian\, Van Tran\, and Hannah Walker.  \nFinances: \n\nThere is no fee to attend the workshop. Light breakfast and lunch are provided.\nAttendees from outside of New York City are responsible for arranging and funding their own accommodation and travel.\nThe workshop is funded by the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality.\n\nQuestions:\nEmail inequalityworkshop@gc.cuny.edu. \nApplications for the 2024 workshop have closed. \n

SUMMARY:Underground Empire: How America Weaponized the World Economy
DESCRIPTION:IN-PERSON AND LIVESTREAM EVENT\nRegister here. \nUnderground Empire\, a real-life techno-thriller by Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman\, reveals how the U.S. controls a global web of surveillance — in the form of networks of fiber optic cables and banking systems — that give it enormous economic power. Farrell and Newman show how these channels\, weaponized after 9/11 but now used as a matter of course\, have become realms of spying and coercion over foreign businesses and countries\, allowing for U.S domination. Paul Krugman — Nobel laureate in economics\, columnist for The New York Times\, and distinguished professor at the Graduate Center\, CUNY — speaks with the authors about their investigation and the geopolitical implications of the power they uncover. Farrell is a professor at Johns Hopkins University and editor-in-chief of The Monkey Cage blog at The Washington Post; Newman is a professor at Georgetown University and also co-author of the book Of Privacy and Power: The Transatlantic Struggle Over Freedom and Security. \nPresented with the Graduate Center. \nA video of this event will be posted a few days later on the Graduate Center’s YouTube Channel. \nPlease contact Jimmy Cok at jcok@gc.cuny.edu in advance for CART services or any additional accessibility requests or concerns for in-person events.​ This event will be livestreamed\, and closed captions will be provided.

SUMMARY:Child Poverty in America: Investing in Our Future
DESCRIPTION:IN-PERSON AND LIVESTREAM EVENT\nRegister here. \nWhen the enhanced Child Tax Credit of 2021 was not renewed by Congress\, millions of American children fell back into poverty. Although the program dramatically reduced child poverty and food insecurity\, progress was derailed by opposition to its cost. But many policy scholars tout the long-term benefits for families — and society — of investing in children\, including better outcomes in education\, health\, and future earnings. Carol Jenkins\, host of CUNY TV’s Black America and co-host with Jeff Madrick of the podcast Invisible Americans\, leads a panel discussion on what we can and should do now to reduce child poverty in the United States. \nFeaturing: Regina S. Baker\, associate professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, and an affiliated scholar of the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at the CUNY Graduate Center; Janet Gornick\, professor of political science and sociology and director of the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at the CUNY Graduate Center; Jeff Madrick\, author of Invisible Americans: The Tragic Cost of Child Poverty\, contributor to The New York Review of Books\, and former economics columnist for The New York Times; and Zachary Parolin\, assistant professor of social policy at Bocconi University\, senior research fellow at Columbia University’s Center on Poverty and Social Policy\, and author of Poverty in the Pandemic: Policy Lessons from COVID-19. \nPresented with the Graduate Center\, CUNY. \nA video of this event will be posted a few days later on the Graduate Center YouTube Channel. \nPlease contact Jimmy Cok at jcok@gc.cuny.edu in advance for CART services or any additional accessibility requests or concerns for in-person events.​ This event will be livestreamed\, and closed captions will be provided.

SUMMARY:Inequality by the Numbers Virtual Workshop 2020 and 2023
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to the virtual workshop series by Stone Center Director Janet Gornick and Associate Director Leslie McCall\nIn 2020\, we launched the first virtual version of the Inequality by the Numbers summer workshop\, converting the planned in-person presentations into videos for 14 of the scheduled sessions. In 2022\, we began organizing a second round of virtual presentations that sought to cover the full range of important topics originally planned for the 2020 in-person workshop. We also aimed to expand further by incorporating presentations from scholars involved in the workshop in prior years. \nWe are very pleased\, then\, to add these seven new video presentations on topics of major contemporary concern\, including inequalities in exposure to global environmental harms (by Deborah Balk and Daniela Tagtachian)\, in health (one by Jacqueline Jahn and one by Nancy Krieger)\, in housing (one by Jacob Faber and one by Brandon Martinez)\, in New York City’s labor market (by James Parrott)\, and in the workplace (by Ryan Smith). Unless otherwise noted\, these videos focus on the U.S. context\, and often on racial and ethnic inequalities in the U.S. \nTaken together\, the videos from 2020 and 2023 present a comprehensive picture of the startling range and degree of inequalities that exist throughout U.S. society and throughout the world. We combine them here as a single collection to encourage viewers to better understand the scale and scope of inequality and the interconnections among various dimensions of inequality. \nWe plan to continue to build this video series in the future. We are also pleased to announce that the live workshop will return in June 2024. Stay tuned for announcements. \n  \n\nThe Rising Tide: Population Exposure and Change in Low-Lying Coastal Areas Across the Globe and in the United States \nDeborah Balk – Marxe School of Public and International Affairs\, Baruch College\nDaniela Tagtachian – The Graduate Center\, CUNY \n\nNew Deal Policy and the Racialization of Homeownership \nJacob Faber – Robert F.

Although we are unable to carry on that tradition this year due to the pandemic\, we are pleased to offer a set of videos as a substitute for the live event. We hope that this virtual workshop will reach a wider audience than the 50-60 attendees that we usually host onsite at The Graduate Center.  \nAs in past years\, the purpose of the workshop is to provide a broad overview of the latest research and thinking on inequality across a wide range of substantive topics\, disciplinary perspectives\, and geographical terrains. Although we cannot cover every subject worthy of attention in the space of one week\, each year we try to extend our discussion of inequality into new areas of research while retaining an emphasis on topics that the senior scholars at the Stone Center study. This year we have invited presenters to incorporate the coronavirus pandemic into their presentations wherever relevant\, given the extraordinary importance of the pandemic to understanding past\, present\, and future structures of inequality.  \nBelow\, you will find this year’s workshop presented as (roughly) 30-minute lectures by 14 of the 18 scholars who had generously agreed to present at this summer’s workshop. All videos are newly recorded for this impromptu series. Stay tuned\, as additional videos may be posted in the future. ​ \n  \n\nInequality and Education \nJordan Conwell – University of Texas at Austin \n \nInequality from the Child’s Perspective \nMiles Corak – Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality\, the Graduate Center\, CUNY \n\n The Care Penalty \nNancy Folbre – University of Massachusetts Amherst \n \nLIS Data: A Resource for Inequality Research \nJanet C.

SUMMARY:Conference on Coalitional Democracy (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:In these tumultuous times\, new forms of activism and political engagement are needed more than ever. Movements to expand the social safety net in response to the devastation of the coronavirus\, along with the Black Lives Matter protests\, are working both inside and outside of electoral politics\, with on-the-ground activists often taking the lead. These new developments join long-standing efforts to reduce inequalities of all forms.

What are effective models—past and present—for pushing beyond traditional approaches? Spend a day learning from thinkers\, scholars\, politicians\, and activists about ways to build coalitions across issues and lines of race\, gender\, class\, and sexuality in order to create a more equal and democratic society. \nResources and videos from the conference and conference participants are available on the Coalitional Democracy Conference page.\nPresented with The Graduate Center/CUNY and as part of The Promise and Perils of Democracy series supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.  \nSee here for conference brochure and full panel descriptions. \n \n
