Social Determinants of Health: Structural Racism, Racism-Related Stress, & Future Directions for Research and Policy

Location: 8417 Sewell Social Sciences, 1180 Observatory Dr.

Myles Moody, Assistant Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Alabama at Birmingham will present this seminar as part of the Institute for Research on Poverty’s seminar series.

Madison recently launched a Guaranteed Income pilot study that will give 155 families $500 a month for one year with “no strings attached”. The initiative is part of a nationwide collaboration of mayors advocating for an income floor. This idea has roots (and routes) that extend well beyond the US, so what can we learn from similar movements in other parts of the world? In this conversation, we will hear from scholars who have been studying basic income politics in Australia and South Korea to learn more about the prospects and perils that lie ahead.

This talk will feature Dr. Elise Klein–a writer, researcher and Senior Lecturer of Public Policy at the Crawford School at the Australian National University, and Minseo Cho–a a PhD student in Sociology at the UW–Madison who has researched Universal Basic Income in South Korea.

Dr. Stephen Young will moderate the event. He is a faculty director of the Institute for Regional and International Studies National Resource Center (IRIS NRC), an associate professor in Geography and International Studies at UW-Madison, and part of the City of Madison Guaranteed Income Pilot Program Task Force.
