Beyond the Picket Fence: Race, Poverty, and the Changing Face of the Suburbs
Open to U-M Community
Join us for a spring workshop with Center for Racial Justice Visiting Fellow, R. L’Heureux Lewis-McCoy.
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.
R L’Heureux Lewis-McCoy will be joined in conversation by Mo Torres, assistant professor at the Ford School of Public Policy and in LSA Sociology, and Alexandra Murphy, Associate Director of Social Science Research at Mcity.
Lunch from Jerusalem Garden provided.
