The racial wealth gap in the United States has witnessed alarming growth in recent years, with BIPOC households now possessing less than 25% of the wealth held by their white counterparts. A substantial portion of this wealth gap can be attributed to disparities in housing. Owning a home remains a principal method for building and transferring wealth, constituting approximately 70% of an individual’s net worth. However, challenges such as housing discrimination, restrictive zoning laws, income disparities, and lending practices have created barriers to homeownership, particularly for BIPOC individuals and first-time homebuyers.
Real estate lawyers and practitioners have a unique opportunity to address this critical issue by creating new pathways to homeownership for increasingly diverse communities. We invite you to join this critical examination of how real estate law plays a pivotal role in the short-term provision of affordable housing to underserved communities and, in the long term, contributes to the wealth accumulation of Black individuals and families.RSVP coming soon!

We hope you will join us Thursday, 11/21 for an event on Direct Action Environmental Justice! The event will take place at 12:30PM, in SHH 408 and via WebEx.
About the Event:
Joseph Brown (UMass-Boston). Social movements mobilize to fight climate change, water pollution, and ...biodiversity loss with a variety of direct action tactics. What is the best way to understand these campaigns? This book argues that the "environmental" framework fails to capture the importance of race and Indigenous sovereignty in intersectional "environmental justice" movements. The importance of intersectionality emerges in months of participant observation fieldwork inside Atlanta's Stop Cop City movement and the Wet'suwet'en Nation's resistance to the Coastal GasLink pipeline. Dozens of interviews illuminate the political and social pathways to direct action, as well as the controversies that arise over strategy and tactics. Given its "insider" research approach, the book sheds light on the subjective experience of direct action, including the highs and lows, triumphs and traumas, hopes and fears of those engaged in frontline environmental justice struggle.
Join UConn Political Science faculty for a debrief on the 2024 Election Results to discuss implications for policy and politics in the next administration. After a brief roundtable discussion, students and members of the broader University community are invited to ask questions and participate in ...discussion.
Happy Election Day! Here is UConn POLS at the POLLS! If you haven't voted yet... you have until 8pm today! Students please see our story for voting resources.
