Reading groups on race, ethnicity, and migration
The Neighborhoods, Housing, and Urban Sociology (NHUS) reading group was started in 2015 and is loosely overseen by Dr. Maria Krysan, and run by the graduate student members. NHUS focuses on theoretical and empirical literature related to urban issues, including spatial stratification, housing, and segregation.
