Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) Research Session II

Description

Current Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) Fellows present their dissertation research. Topics include investigating the carceral state as a root cause of racialized, gendered, and state-level health inequalities among women; an examination of American school bus ridership in the South as a re-emerged indicator of educational disenfranchisement, generational disinvestment, and social engineering; and an examination of whether respondents’ skin tone predicts a preference for race-concordant health providers among Latines.
