Details

Join us for a conversation led by Peter Crumlish, the Executive Director and General Secretary of Dwight Hall, Yale's student-led center for public service and social justice. With the United States celebrating 250 years, this session we will explore New Haven's history. We will focus on the city as it transitioned from an industrial hub to a post-industrial city, and how this has impacted the socioeconomic make-up of the urban area from the mid-20th century onward. We will examine housing and zoning issues, gentrification, the urban renewal process, and how all of this impacts the current state of the city today. At the end of the talk we will have plenty of time for Q&A.

This session is open to the Yale community, and we encourage you to come with your questions.

This will be an in-person event, and registration is required.
