Breanca Merritt is a Diversity Scholar at the University of Michigan and founding director of the Center for Research on Inclusion and Social Policy (CRISP) and clinical assistant professor in the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. In this role, she and her team produce and disseminate research to lay audiences about complex social issues and inequitable outcomes through policy briefs and multidisciplinary research experiences for students with community organizations. Dr. Merritt’s work aims to inform both local stakeholders and academic audiences. Her applied, community-engaged research analyzes local trends and evaluates programs related to social service provision, equitable access and experiences, and systemic sources of poverty. Her academic work assesses how legislation and organizational practices contribute to disparate outcomes, especially for racial/ethnic minorities. Topics addressed by these projects include housing and homelessness, family financial stability, and criminal justice, among others. https://www.in.gov/fssa/thehub/4602.htm

Toxic Equilibrium: Structural Racism and Population Health Inequities (February 24, 2021 10:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/81748 81748-20949404@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 10:00am
Location: Off Campus Location

Eastern Time

The American social structure is composed of a resilient, symbiotic network of the formal and informal institutions that operate to maintain an equilibrium toward White privilege. Across time and place, changes in one institution can reverberate through other institutions, and importantly, when we attempt to intervene toward equity in one institution, other institutions can move to restore this toxic equilibrium. Cultural racism, which encompasses the socially accepted ideologies, values, and behavioral norms determined by the dominant power group, sets this equilibrium. Particularly insidious as it operates on the level of our shared social subconscious, the processes that comprise cultural racism are invisible to many because they are our “givens”, our assumptions, our defaults – but the result shapes our answers to the question: Whose life counts?

For our 6th annual University of Michigan RacismLab Symposium on the Study of Racism, we pay tribute to the legacy of Dr. James Jackson, whose mentorship guided our 1st annual symposium in 2015 and resulted in our guest edited Social Science and Medicine special issue on cultural and structural racism. In the introduction to this special issue, we called for all scholarship on race and health to be grounded in interdisciplinary frameworks of cultural and structural racism and critical race theory.

Our annual symposium continues to be sponsored by the University of Michigan Survey Research Center at the Institute for Social Research. For our virtual meeting in 2021, we partner with the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science (IAPHS) to move our discussions to a national stage. As we move to a national, interdisciplinary discussion, we are honored that a pioneer in the study of structural racism, Dr. Eduardo Bonilla Silva will serve as the keynote speaker this year.

Dividing Lines: The Impact Of District Boundaries On School Segregation In The 21st Century (March 1, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/80206 80206-20596108@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 1, 2021 12:00pm

Nationwide, nearly 13,000 school districts manage the delivery of public education to their local communities. Commute distance calculations reveal, however, that “local community” is an imprecise construct. Eight percent of all elementary school-aged are unable to attend the school closest to their home because it is located outside of their locally zoned residential school district. The spatial discontinuities produced by school district boundaries not only increase school commute times, but in some cases exacerbate school segregation. This occurs most often in areas where small, suburban school districts encircle large, citywide school districts. Decades of household sorting have created stark economic and social differences between some bordering school districts—generating a patchwork of territorial school district "fiefdoms." This talk presents preliminary findings from a counterfactual analysis. The estimates measure how much the enforcement of district boundaries over the present-day residential distribution of children contributes to public school segregation by race and poverty. The findings build from a novel method estimating access to public schools that incorporates the local school choice context for virtually every block in the U.S. The hidden costs of school district boundaries are revealed as a trade-off against the perceived benefits of local community control of schools and situated more broadly in a sociological perspective of state power over residential and school choice markets.


BIO:
Peter Rich is an Assistant Professor of Policy Analysis and Management and Sociology at Cornell University. His research investigates the connection between segregation, inequality, individual choice, and public policy in the United States, asking how sorting processes reflect and reinforce racial and socioeconomic gaps in educational attainment, wealth accumulation, and economic opportunity.

During this presentation Dr. Kavita Singh will discuss her work focused on evaluating quality improvement maternal and newborn child projects in Ghana and Ethiopia. These projects employed a quality improvement approach whereby health workers and staff at the local level formed quality improvement teams. Using quality improvement methods, these teams first identified barriers to providing high quality maternal and newborn care and then proposed simple, low-cost solutions to address these barriers. Dr. Singh’s external evaluation team employed a mixed methods approach to understand whether and how this intervention improved maternal and child health outcomes. The evaluation methods included quantitative impact analyses, team assessments, quality assessments and cost-effectiveness analyses.


BIO:
Kavita Singh (Ongechi), PhD, MPH, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Maternal and Child Health at UNC and also a Faculty Fellow at the Carolina Population Center. She served as the Senior Technical Advisor for Maternal and Child Health for the MEASURE Evaluation project, and now serves in that role for the Data for Impact Project (D4I). Dr. Singh has been the lead PI for the evaluation of several quality improvement projects focused on maternal and child health in Ghana and Ethiopia. She was also an evaluator for the Safe Motherhood Initiative in Malawi and has been researching the effect of postnatal care and essential newborn care on neonatal survival. Much of Dr. Singh’s current work is focused on methodologies to obtain data on hard to measure outcomes such as maternal mortality and techniques to improve the quality and use of health facility data. She used indirect estimation techniques to understand the effect of forced migration on refugee and host populations in Northern Uganda and South Sudan. She has also used venue-based methodologies to understand localities most in need of HIV prevention messages and services. Dr. Singh is keenly interested in translating pilot phase evaluation findings to inform the implementation of scale-up phases and adapting methodologies to get better data on maternal, child and newborn health outcomes.

From the speaker's bio:

Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom is an award-winning author, researcher, educator, and cultural critic whose work has been recognized nationally and internationally for the urgency and depth of her incisive critical analysis of technology, higher education, class, race, and gender.

The foundation for Tressie’s first book, Lower Ed: The Troubling Rise of For-Profit Colleges in the New Economy, was formed by dissertation research for her doctorate from Emory University’s Laney Graduate School. In Lower Ed, Tressie questions the fundamental narrative of American education policy. In 2019, Tressie released Thick: and Other Essays. The collection has been described as “essential,” and the Chicago Tribune calls Tressie, “the author you need to read now.” Dorothy Roberts compares reading it to “holding a mirror to your soul and to that of America.” Thick was the winner of the Brooklyn Public Library Literary Prize and was a finalist for the 2019 National Book Award.

Tressie serves on dozens of academic and philanthropic boards and publishes widely on issues of inequality, work, higher education and technology. She is an associate professor in the School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life (UNC). She was awarded the MacArthur Fellowship in 2020.

With the announcement of the Biden administration's creation of the White House Gender Policy Council, which will guide and coordinate government policy that impacts women and girls, across a wide range of issues such as economic security, health care, racial justice, gender-based violence, and foreign policy, gender equality is firmly on the policy agenda.

How will those goals translate to social justice in the legal realm? Fatima Goss Graves, President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, will give her perspective on how to make the law more equitable in this moment. In this conversation with Ford School professor Celeste Watkins-Hayes, they will address protecting sexual and reproductive rights, ensuring workplace and economic justice, and addressing sexual assault, among other issues.

Beyond the Pandemic: Challenges and Opportunities for Changes in Education
Wednesday, May 12 at 1pm EDT
https://umich.zoom.us/j/96351558688

At the end of the school year in 2020 parents, educators, and researchers, wondered how to deal with the “COVID slide” related to achievement and gains in learning due to schools shifting to virtual learning across the country. What we did not know at the time is that many schools would struggle to open at all in the Fall of 2020 and online and remote learning would continue to be one of the primary ways that children were educated for the rest of the 2020-21 school year. Today, the question remains: What will parents, educators, and researchers need to consider regarding achievement and learning gains as children are likely to return to in-person schooling in Fall 2021? Dr. Pamela Davis-Kean will discuss her research on how homeschooling was discussed on social media, the issues related to “holding back” or repeating a grade in primary school, and how new proposed policies for free community college may be important for helping those in secondary education get extra time to develop skills for entry into a four-year college.

How the Measurement and Meaning of Family Structure Shape Research on Young Adult Racial Inequality (September 27, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/86249 86249-21632226@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 27, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Institute for Social Research

Abstract:
At the population level, Black and White youth in the United States enter adulthood after a lifetime of divergent family structure experiences. A substantial social science literature has investigated whether this variation in childhood family structure contributes to racial disparities in the timing, sequence, and context of events in the transition into adulthood. This discussion adopts a critical perspective on mainstream research on this topic. The panelists highlight opportunities in family demography, social stratification, human development, and race and ethnic studies to advance theory, measurement, and empirical modeling in order to more accurately reflect Black family organization and to situate Black and White families in the a broader context of racialized social, economic, and political inequality.

Speakers:
Paula Fomby is a research associate professor in the Survey Research Center and Population Studies Center, Institute for Social Research, University of Michigan. She holds a PhD in Sociology with an emphasis in social demography from University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research considers how family composition and family process contribute to variation in child and young adult well-being, particularly in the context of social inequality. Fomby is the associate director of the UM Population Studies Center, a co-investigator on the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), and the associate director of the PSID Child Development Supplement.

Christina Cross is a postdoctoral fellow and incoming assistant professor of Sociology at Harvard University. She completed her PhD in Sociology and Public Policy at University of Michigan. Her research examines how family structure, change, and dynamics influence individual wellbeing across the life course, particularly among minority and/or low-income populations. Much of her work has focused on childhood as a key stage in the life course for the emergence and accumulation of social advantages or disadvantages.

Bethany Letiecq is an associate professor in the Human Development and Family Science program at George Mason University. - She received her PhD in health education/family studies and her MS in family and community development from the University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. Letiecq employs community-based participatory and action research approaches to conduct research in partnership with families systematically marginalized by society to promote family health and justice. She is keenly interested in how social policies and practices facilitate or hinder family functioning and health across all families.

This event is an ISR Inclusive Research Matters presentation, sponsored by the Education Programs Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Team, the Population Studies Center and the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science.

Michigan Population Studies Center (PSC) Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.
