DESCRIPTION:Did you know there are more immigrants\, Black\, Latinx and poor people in the suburbs than in cities? What would it mean to look at the suburbs as a site of new possibilities rather than a place many have tried to escape? This event will explore the new realities of suburban living and what we can do to work towards greater equity and racial justice.\n\nThis event is free and open to U-M students\, faculty\, staff\, alumni\, and community members.\n\nLunch from Jerusalem Garden provided.\n\nAbout the speakers\n\nR. L'Heureux Lewis-McCoy is a scholar whose work and activism center issues of race\, place\, education\, and opportunity. He is an Associate Professor at New York University in the Sociology of Education program in the School of Culture\, Education and Human Development. He is author of the forthcoming book A Dream Dissolved: How Opportunity Hoarding Bankrupted Education (One Signal – Simon & Shuster/Atria). He is the co-lead investigator of the Black Suburban Experience Project. His first book\, Inequality in the Promised Land (Stanford University Press\, 2014) tackled how inequality persisted in an \"integrated\" school and suburban community. His larger research interests include race and racism\, gender justice\, and community mobilization.\n\nMo Torres (MPP ‘15) is a sociologist interested in urban political economy\, inequality\, the sociology of race/racism\, and the politics of knowledge production. He is a postdoctoral fellow in the Michigan Society of Fellows and an assistant professor of sociology and public policy. His current book project uses mixed and historical methods to explore the politics of post-industrial decline and the production of urban austerity in Michigan from the 1970s to the present. He is a U-M (MPP '15) and Fulbright (Brazil '19) alumnus and received his PhD in sociology from Harvard University in 2023\, where he held fellowships at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Stone Program in Inequality and Social Policy. A first-generation college graduate\, Mo is a former Detroit Public Schools teacher.\n\nAlexandra K. Murphy is the Associate Director of Social Science Research at Mcity. Murphy is also an Assistant Research Scientist at Poverty Solutions in the Ford School of Public Policy\, and a Faculty Associate of the Population Studies Center at the Institute for Social Research\, all at the University of Michigan. She received her PhD in Sociology and Social Policy from Princeton University. In her research\, she uses ethnographic methods to examine how poverty and inequality are experienced\, structured\, and reproduced across and within multiple domains of social life\, including neighborhoods\, social networks\, and the state. One line of research investigates the new suburban poverty. Murphy's work in this area has focused on variations in social service responses to rising poverty across diverse suburbs\; urban and suburban comparisons in social service capacity\; and the theoretical\, conceptual\, and methodological issues suburban poverty raises for a sociological understanding of geography and inequality.
