Every fall, the department runs a seminar series entitled Inequality, Organization, and Development. The series brings researchers and practitioners, mostly from the New England region, to talk about cutting-edge issues in regional development. The combination of researchers and practitioners makes for lively, multi-faceted discussions. For example, in the past we brought both an economist whose studies have made the case for city and county Living Wage ordinances around the United States, and community organizers who have mobilized the grassroots movements that got those laws passed.
Seminars are free and open to the public.
The fall 2000 series is still being organized, and the schedule will be posted on this page when finalized.
