Students are invited to learn about the Center for Neighborhood Knowledge (CNK). RSVP is not required. Lunch will be provided on a first come, first served basis.
The Lunch on Luskin series will feature a different Luskin-affiliated unit most Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Fall quarter. See the full schedule below.
The Center for Neighborhood Knowledge (formerly the Center for the Study of Inequality) conducts basic and applied research on the socioeconomic formation and internal dynamics of neighborhoods, and how these collective spatial units are positioned and embedded within regions. They work with a broad set of data and employ a range of analytical skills to examine neighborhood phenomena across time and space. Many of their reports and findings are available on the publications section of their website and it is their hope that they might act as tools for community members, leaders, and organizations to inform and empower. Visit their website.
