SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LIVE Ann Arbor AF Podcast Recording
DESCRIPTION:Come join Ann Arbor AF’s very first LIVE recording! This local policy podcast\, co-hosted by Jessica A.S. Letaw (Ginsberg’s Community-Leader-in-Residence) and Molly Kleinman (also Science\, Technology & Public Policy [STPP]’s  Managing Director) demystifies Ann Arbor politics through discussions of local policy and governance\, inviting listeners to get informed and involved. \n\nIn this special conversation\, we’ll be joined by guest Yodit Mesfin Johnson\, local community leader\, and co-founder of FutureRoot\, to discuss the Inclusive History Project-funded Liberated Land Use\, Ann Arbor’s current comprehensive land use plan update\, and what could be next for housing and racial justice for Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County. \n\nIn addition to the 60 min live recording\, there will be an interactive imagination component for in-person participants.\n\nPlease RSVP since space is limited.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:End of Apartheid\, Not of Inequality: the Slow Transition in a Segregated Economy.
DESCRIPTION:Despite the formal end of Apartheid in 1994\, South Africa remains one of the most unequal countries in the world. This paper investigates the mechanisms behind this persistence of inequality by developing a spatial dynastic model with heterogeneous agents\, incomplete markets\, and endogenous choices over education\, occupation\, savings\, and location. Drawing on newly assembled micro-geographic data\, we document a shift in inequality from being primarily across races to increasingly within the Black population\, with spatial segregation — especially the legacy of Townships — playing a key role. Our model\, disciplined by detailed spatial and socioeconomic data\, captures the slow intergenerational convergence in education and occupational outcomes observed in post-Apartheid South Africa. It shows how inherited spatial disadvantages — through high commuting costs\, disparities in school quality\, and limited access to credit — continue to shape households’ educational\, occupational\, and locational choices\, reinforcing inequality long after formal legal barriers have been removed. Quantitatively\, we find that removing persistent spatial distortions in Townships accelerates the transition to a race-blind equilibrium by 40% and reduces income inequality by 10%.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series: Investigating RNA viruses in phyllostomid bat communities across fragmented landscapes in Brazil’s deforestation frontier
DESCRIPTION:Description: Habitat fragmentation\, the division of a continuous habitat into smaller patches\, may impact the dynamics of the emergence and persistence of pathogens. As reservoir hosts for many emerging pathogens\, bats are uniquely vulnerable to the consequences of habitat fragmentation. My dissertation proposal examines RNA virus dynamics in phyllostomid bat communities across Brazil’s deforestation frontier\, the ecotonal region between the Amazon rainforest and Cerrado savanna. Specifically\, I aim to longitudinally investigate how habitat fragmentation influences phyllostomid bat RNA virus dynamics\, species richness\, population connectivity\, and diet.
