In partnership with the City of New Haven, American Legion Post 210, VFW Post 12150, National Veterans Council for Legal Redress, and Yale Veterans Network, join us for a Long Wharf War Memorial Fall Clean Up. Materials will be provided by the New Haven Public Works Department. Please bring your work gloves, shovels, brooms, and gas or battery powered blowers or trimers. This event will take place on Saturday, November 6 from 9-11 am, at the Vietnam War Memorial – Long Wharf Dr – New Haven, CT.

On November 5th, the panel sessions include “Inequality and Income Support” and “Affirmative Action and Resource Allocation.” Overall, the studies covered in these sessions employ different approaches, including theory, policy evaluations, and analyses of historical data, to understand the redistributive implications of economic and political policies. The policies include federal government acts on a minimum wage and immigration, quotas in political representation, and identity-contingent hiring and school admissions.

In what ways do the effects of historically discriminatory government policies linger today, and what scope exists to reduce their remaining harms? And does under-representation of minority groups in the ranks of government officials necessarily undermine the de facto fairness of de jure impartial institutions? Recent research provides insight into these questions, as well as into the implications of changing the way that race itself is conceptualized in empirical discrimination research.
