Expanding Opportunity for All: Responding to the Situatedness of Marginalized...Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses structural racialization and how it relates to marginalized populations. It explains that race is a social construct that affects how people are situated and identified. Institutions can operate jointly to produce racialized outcomes, such as unevenly distributing opportunities related to housing, education, employment, and more. This institutional uneven distribution and racial marking negatively impacts life outcomes and access to opportunities, concentrating disadvantages for people of color.Opportunity Mapping: Mapping the Geography of Opportunity for Public Interest...
Opportunity Mapping: Mapping the Geography of Opportunity for Public Interest...Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity

The presentation discusses the concept of opportunity and how access to opportunity structures like education, housing, employment, and social networks impact people's likelihood of success. It notes that people of color are more likely to live in areas with fewer opportunities. The presentation outlines how the Kirwan Institute conducts opportunity mapping to analyze disparities in access to opportunities across places. It provides examples of how these maps have informed policies and programs in various locations to improve access to opportunities.Towards Making an Anonymous and One-Stop Online Reporting System for Third-Wo...
Under-reporting is one of the main causes of failure to solve social problems, which obstruct national development in thirdworld countries. A one-stop online reporting system can facilitate minimizing the extent of under-reporting, which is yet to be developed for general people of third-world countries. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a generic online reporting system where one can submit report anonymously, even without registration. Our system aims at propagating the reports to the respective authorities such as law enforcement agencies, anti-corruption commission, city corporation, policy makers, human rights commissions, etc., after a reviewing process. The system will also publish the reports without disclosing identities of the reporters to disseminate the information among public and to collect the public opinions about the reports.

The document discusses avoiding plagiarism. It defines key terms like paraphrasing, referencing, and plagiarism. It emphasizes that paraphrasing involves restating another author's ideas in your own words and citing the original author. Plagiarism is presenting another's work as your own. The document reviews guidelines for properly citing sources to avoid plagiarism accusations and outlines potential unintentional causes of plagiarism like unclear rules or assessment difficulties. It concludes that prevention through education is better than punishment.
Final report
This document summarizes research on community engagement tools used to build support for transit-oriented development (TOD) projects. It conducted focus groups in 4 Bay Area communities to evaluate the effectiveness of these tools. The focus groups found that credibility, specificity, community benefits, and relating to local context were important. Conversely, manipulation, unsupported ideas, and ignorance of the community undermined the tools. The research aims to help improve TOD outreach by understanding what messaging resonates with communities.
Gender Lens Infographic- FINAL
This document introduces the concept of a gender lens and why it is important to consider gender in all areas of analysis and grantmaking. A gender lens recognizes how gender impacts any issue in both obvious and less obvious ways, and acknowledges how gender interacts with other identities like race, class, sexuality, and immigration status. Applying a gender lens means being intentional about considering gender norms and expressions during analysis, program development, evaluation, and across all aspects of an organization from leadership to human resources. The document provides examples of how issues in different sectors like education, workforce development, health, and juvenile justice are impacted by gender in ways that may not be visible without a gender lens.

The document discusses several key ideas around cultural intelligence and cross-cultural competence when working or traveling in other cultures:
- Cultural intelligence involves having the cognitive, behavioral, and motivational skills to appropriately interpret and interact with other cultures. It allows one to function effectively in culturally diverse settings.
- Personal characteristics like stress tolerance, flexibility, communication skills and cultural empathy help with successful adaptation to new cultures. Traits like modesty, respect, understanding of culture and self-knowledge are also important.
- Cross-cultural competence for professionals requires knowledge of histories of oppression, cultural characteristics of groups, and self-awareness of one's own biases when serving diverse clients or communities.

While the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child prohibits such violations, the US has not ratified it, and the troubled teen industry in the US remains largely unregulated.
Privacy in a Human Rights and Social Justice Context
A presentation at the 'Information Privacy, Security and Forensics in the Digital Age' Symposium - a National Library of Wales / Aberystwyth University event 6th September 2012
Discourse on the public and private spheres in the digital age has aroused much critical commentary and has occasioned a revisioning of the meaning of public and private in the realm of information. Developments in on-line communication and commerce have popularised this debate and the question of what information is, or should be, public and private, is one which reflects the complexity and interconnectivity of personal and public personas.
In exploring the perceived potential for transparency and accountability, finding the balance between consumerism and control, collaboration and cyber security, and in developing communities of trust whilst being mindful of compliance and continuous enforcement is a challenge which benefits from interdisciplinary approaches. This symposium explores the boundaries of public and private in the digital ecology and includes contributions from a diverse range of fields: forensics, security, law, information and archival science, and social and mobile media.
There has been unprecedented activity in this area in the second decade of this millennium, culminating in a proclamation by the United Nations on access to the Internet as a human right, the deliberations of the Leveson Enquiry regarding press standards and surveillance culture and EU e-privacy and data protection reform, to name a few.

Examples of opportunity maps for various regions are also presented to demonstrate how the technique can be used to analyze issues of inequity.
Mapping Inequity
This document summarizes an opportunity mapping study conducted in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The study identified indicators in five areas (education, economic opportunity, housing, health, and environment) to measure opportunity across neighborhoods. Data for these indicators was analyzed to create an opportunity index and map census tracts into quintiles of opportunity. The analysis found Section 8 housing was primarily concentrated in low-opportunity areas, which may limit choice and contribute to disadvantage. Next steps proposed updating the analysis with new data and further neighborhood studies.
The Racialized Structure of Opportunity
The document discusses opportunity structures and how they are often racialized, meaning they produce and reinforce racial advantages and disadvantages. It provides examples of how policies around suburbanization, segregation, and concentrated poverty have historically restricted opportunities for racial minorities. Opportunity mapping is presented as a tool to visualize these opportunity structures and mismatches, in order to design interventions to expand access to neighborhoods and schools of opportunity for all.
Neighborhood Opportunity Mapping for Regional Equity
Neighborhood Opportunity Mapping for Regional EquityKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
- Neighborhood opportunity mapping analyzes access to opportunities like education, employment, transportation, and health across regions to understand spatial inequities.
- Maps are powerful visual tools that can efficiently display large amounts of data and tell stories to inform people and help solve problems.
- Research shows living in high poverty, segregated neighborhoods limits access to opportunities and success due to conditions and isolation from resources. This cumulative impact perpetuates inequities over time.
- Opportunity mapping assesses where communities with access to opportunities exist and where underserved communities lack access, to understand and address inequities at a regional scale.The Racialized Structure of Opportunity
The document discusses opportunity structures and how they are often racialized, meaning they produce and reinforce racial advantages and disadvantages. It focuses on three related forces that mediate the linkage between race, place, and life outcomes: sprawl, concentrated poverty, and segregation. The author advocates for opportunity mapping to better understand and address inequities in access to opportunities like education, jobs, transportation and public services across neighborhoods and regions. Maps can help identify where opportunity mismatches exist and inform interventions to promote equitable regional policies and access to high-opportunity areas.
GIS in Social Sciences
This document provides an overview of a class presentation given by Samir Gambhir of the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity.

It discusses the Opportunity Communities model, which aims to connect people to critical opportunities through fair housing, community development, and regional policy. Recent examples of applying this model included promoting regional equity in Cleveland, assisting public housing residents in Baltimore, and addressing racial isolation through legal services in Massachusetts. The model was also used in the Thompson v. HUD litigation to identify solutions for fair housing in the Baltimore region.POSTER_36x48
This document summarizes a research study analyzing strategies for public participation in vacant land reuse processes in four mid-sized Ohio cities - Hamilton, Lima, Mansfield, and Youngstown. The researcher reviewed plans and documents from each city to identify relevant processes, then categorized the processes using Archon Fung's Democracy Cube framework of participation, communication/decision-making, and authority. Preliminary conclusions suggest Hamilton did little beyond minimum requirements, Lima engaged residents but they were not motivated, Mansfield engaged at some points but not for all projects, and Youngstown had many plans but impact has not been seen. Interviews with stakeholders are intended to provide more qualitative insight before finalizing analysis.

Does Place Really Matter? Broadband Availability, Race and IncomeKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
This document summarizes a presentation on broadband availability and its relationship to race, income, and location. It explores these relationships through case studies of Los Angeles, Chicago, and South Carolina. The main findings are that income was a more significant determinant of broadband deployment than race alone, availability varies between urban and rural areas, and adoption remains an issue even with some level of competition and availability. Going forward, the researchers intend to further examine availability versus adoption, the role of cost and service type, and speed. Data and technical challenges for the analysis are also discussed.Policy and Promise for Low Income People in America
Policy and Promise for Low Income People in AmericaKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
This document discusses the role of federal policy in promoting or limiting opportunities for low-income people and people of color in America. It provides historical examples of how policies around schooling, housing, transportation and lending influenced racial inequities that persist today. It also examines unemployment insurance and finds that while Black and Latino Americans face higher unemployment rates, they are underrepresented among recipients of unemployment benefits compared to their share of the unemployed population. Geographic distribution of minority groups in states with less generous unemployment systems as well as ineligibility factors may partially explain these disparities.It's not what you think: How structural dynamics and implicit bias reproduce ...

(Why) Are African Americans and Latinos underrepresented among UI beneficiari...Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
This document discusses potential reasons for the underrepresentation of African Americans and Latinos among unemployment insurance (UI) beneficiaries. It finds that:
1) African Americans and Latinos experienced higher unemployment during the recession but were also overrepresented among the long-term unemployed.
2) While recipiency rates were around 40% for whites, they were lower for African Americans and Latinos, ranging from 32-39%.
3) Geographic distribution of racial groups may play a role, as African Americans and Latinos are more concentrated in states with lower UI recipiency rates. Implicit bias and discretion in the UI system could also potentially contribute to underrepresentation of minorities.Equal Opportunity and Access to Higher Education in Ohio
Equal Opportunity and Access to Higher Education in OhioKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity

Community Engagement Roundtable Sisters of Charity Foundation of ClevelandKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
Community engagement builds social capital by cultivating long-term relationships and developing a shared community vision. However, community engagement has declined as private life replaces public life and diversity decreases social capital. Disadvantaged communities face additional challenges to engagement like decades of disinvestment, poverty, and underperforming schools. To rebuild engagement requires long-term efforts that empower local leadership, allow diverse voices to be heard, and foster trust through shared responsibility between community groups.Capitalism, Race, and the Struggle for Equality
This document discusses critical race theory and the intersection of race and class. It makes three key points:
1) Race and class are co-constitutive and intersect at individual, group, and societal levels, shaping identity and inequality over time. The exclusion of non-whites from New Deal programs entrenched structural racial inequality.
2) Opportunity structures in domains like housing, employment, education sort individuals and groups in racialized ways. A shift is needed to examine how institutions collectively racialize opportunities.
3) Corporate power increasingly shapes key areas of life and diminishes public and private spaces, with implications for civil rights that are debated in issues like Citizens United.
Structural Change: Confronting Race and Class
The document discusses structural barriers to opportunity and how they disproportionately impact marginalized communities. It provides an overview of the Kirwan Institute's work studying how systems produce racial inequities and analyzing neighborhoods' access to opportunities like education and employment.

Help Wanted: Creating Equal Opportunities for MinoritiesKirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity
The document discusses the disproportionate impacts of the recession on minorities and calls for a more equitable recovery. It summarizes data showing higher unemployment rates among minorities, in areas with larger minority populations, and at the intersections of geography and race. While the stimulus provided relief, more targeted investments are needed to assist communities hardest hit and develop opportunities for minorities. The Kirwan Institute advocates for policies that combine universal goals with targeted approaches to promote a fair recovery.Racial Equity Impacts of the Economic Recovery
This document discusses the impacts of the recession and economic crisis. It notes that the recession has hit communities unevenly across states and demographics. Certain groups, such as Black and Latino youth, have faced particularly high unemployment rates. The response to the recession through policies like the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act aimed to stimulate the economy and assist those most impacted, but there are questions around whether the recovery has reached all communities equally and how future policies and investments can better promote equity.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
