Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality

Congratulations Class of 2021!


Over the past year, dozens of Stanford undergraduates have served as research assistants on the American Voices Project. They’ve talked with hundreds of people from across to country to understand their successes and struggles, their hopes and dreams, and their ideas for making our country work better, and they’ve analyzed these real-time data to inform the public and the country’s policymakers about how we’re faring during the health and economic crisis. We thank them for all their work.

We would like to extend a special thanks to the seniors who have worked with us over the past four years: Sofia Avila Jamesson, Haeli Baek, Kimberly Batdorf, Claudia Bobadilla, Mila Camargo, Anthony Duarte, Megan Faircloth, Alex Fuentes, Raul Garcia, Thom Henri, Carla Ho, Rachael Ku, Alexander Lam, Nancy Lopez-Alvarez, Janet Martinez, Isabel Michel, Hannah Mueller, Ricky Rodriguez, Melissa Santos, Raymond Yao, and Eric Zhou. We wish you all the best!
 

Racial Equity in Federal Economic Data

How can qualitative data sources, like the AVP, complement traditional survey measures? AVP principal investigator Corey Fields joins a panel on how the Biden administration could take steps to increase the quality and utility of economic data disaggregation. Register here.
 

Monitoring the Crisis

The American Voices Project relies on immersive interviews to deliver a comprehensive portrait of life across the country. The “Monitoring the Crisis” series uses AVP interviews conducted during recent months to provide timely reports on what’s happening throughout the country as the pandemic and recession play out.
Expanded Assistance and Material Hardship

How have individuals and families experienced the economic impacts of the pandemic, the resultant relief package, and the expansion of the social safety net with the CARES Act?

Indirect Health Consequences

The financial stress and social isolation of the pandemic provoked psychological distress for many AVP respondents, and was especially hard for those with prior mental health challenges.

The Rise of the Noxious Contract

The pandemic class structure is increasingly built around a divide between face-to-face and remote work. Is this change in the structure of work leading to new types of inter-worker relations and conflict?

Having to Stay Still

Young people have borne many of the costs of the pandemic and lockdowns, but we have heard little about their lives outside of the difficulties imposed by online learning.
