Presenters and their audience.

Abstract: Unfair inequality abounds in Massachusetts today: in jobs and income, in education, in housing and in health care. The students in SOC207 Wealth & Poverty / HON205 The Meritocracy Myth have tracked detailed indicators of poverty and wealth in dozens of Massachusetts cities and towns, uncovering shocking inequalities which they will display. They have envisioned what a more equitable future for our state would look like and created an artistic display of that vision.
