Title: IPR Conference
Description: IPR's 40th Anniversary Conference:
“Dynamics of Inequality in America from 1968 to Today”
Inequality has been a major theme of interdisciplinary faculty research at the Institute for Policy Research (IPR) since it was founded in the 1968–69 academic year. IPR’s 40th anniversary offers a unique moment to take stock of what we know about inequality, to look at how IPR research has contributed to that knowledge base, and to chart a course for where we need to go next in terms of research and policy. Sessions will expand on six major IPR research themes: race and inequality; the city and inequality; education and inequality; health and social inequality; politics, public opinion, and inequality; and gender and inequality.
