Penn Fels Policy Research Initiative to Help Fund Projects for Two Penn Faculty

The Penn Fels Policy Research Initiative has selected new working groups and conferences for funding, and will continue to fund four ongoing projects. Of the grantees are two Penn Sociology faculty: Daniel Aldana Cohen and Dorothy Roberts.

Daniel Aldana Cohen will convene the Socio-Spatial Carbon Collaborative, which will investigate the intersection of social and ecological inequalities in the built environment, with an eye to broad public engagement and public policy.

Dorothy Roberts and the Penn Program on Race Science and Society (PRSS) will host a two-day international symposium in April 2018 that interrogates the global variability of race in science across time and space.
