In conversation: American Voices Project

Friday, August 27
1pm PDT / 4pm EDT

The American Voices Project (AVP) delivers a rich portrait of day-to-day American life, with all its triumphs, traumas, joy, and despair. Launched in 2019, the AVP captured real-time reactions to the crisis as people dealt with the early shelter-in-place orders, as they lost their jobs or got sick, as protests of systemic racism spread, as the election and storming of the U.S. Capitol unfolded, and as vaccination hesitancy persisted.

With the first release of the AVP’s first crisis reports, we now can ask whether this bold experiment is paying off. Is the AVP a useful complement to conventional qualitative research? Can it play a role in building authentic evidence-informed policy in the United States? Join AVP leaders Corey Fields, David Grusky, and Hazel Markus in conversation with renowned author and journalist James Fallows as they discuss the work of the American Voices Project and its implications for journalism, social science, and policymaking in the 21st century.
