Delivering Equity

Join the Center for Racial Justice in welcoming Dr. Clarence Wardell III, Senior Program Officer on the Economic Mobility and Opportunity team at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, for a virtual workshop on the importance of service design in ensuring equitable access to key government programs. In this workshop, we will explore how user research, feedback loops, and human-centered design are critical to advancing equitable outcomes. We'll look at the Biden Administration's approach through the lens of American Rescue Plan Implementation, and its Executive Orders on equity and customer service.

This event is part of the CRJ's winter 2024 Racial Justice in Practice workshop series and is free and open to all.
