Nov 19, 2009, 4:00-5:30 pm EST
Weill Hall
Reception to follow. Immigration is increasingly changing the composition of the American population. From 1970 to 2003, the foreign-born share of the U.S. population increased from less than 5% to more than 12%. Though this dramatic increase has occurred disproportionately in a few regions, the effects of immigration are increasingly felt across the country. Alongside this rapid increase, debate regarding the effects of immigration has also ramped up.

Colors of Poverty

Sep 1, 2005, 12:00 am EDT
Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy
OverviewIn the mid-1960s, the United States declared a 'War on Poverty' and established the first official way to measure it. From that date forward, researchers have observed substantial racial disparities in poverty rates and poverty-related outcomes. Blacks and Latinos are twice as likely as Asians and whites to be poor. Nonpoor black children are more likely than poor white children to be poor when they reach adulthood. Nearly 30 percent of black males are incarcerated at some point in their lives, compared to less than 5 percent of white males.
