A Diverse City, Divided; The Impact of Philadelphia’s Racial Residential Segregation in our Classrooms and Beyond - Diversity Certificate Program

Presenter: Faye Allard
Description: Did you know that Philadelphia is among the most racially and ethnically diverse cities in the nation? But did you also know that Philadelphia has been consistently in the top five most segregated cities in the nation for a number of years? In this data driven, highly interactive presentation, we will examine the patterns of racial residential segregation in Philadelphia and the paradox of being simultaneously diverse, but being segregated. Then we will consider the cause and most importantly, the consequences of racial residential segregation in relation to our students, faculty and the institution as a whole.
