Instructors view inequalities through multiple lenses\, including gender\, sexuality\, class\, race\, ethnicity\, age\, and immigration status\, as well as through multidisciplinary perspectives.

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: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.
