Chicago Convenes

We're at $1.5 billion for the University's campaign. Convenes is a big thank you party for donors.

"The day of festivities honors and celebrates the generosity of those who have contributed to the progress of the Chicago Initiative. Chicago Convenes also showcases the intellectual vitality and the architectural beauty of the University, with faculty members offering classes and seminars and sharing their latest research, and with behind-the-scenes tours of new campus facilities."




The panel I help organize:

Social scientists from the Departments of Political Science, Economics, and Psychology will explore our society’s racial gaps from different perspectives, including examining racial differences in people’s response to Hurricane Katrina,the determinants of the black-white skill gap among young people, and the exploration of stereotyping and prejudice through research involving
videogame-like simulations.
