Before Class
Reading
Please read (Kershaw et al. 2017), which is an analysis of longitudinal data looking specifically at the impact of changes in exposure to residential segregation on the cardiovascular health of Black Americans in several U.S. cities.
During Class
We will discuss the reading by Kershaw et al. (2017) as well as revisiting Biello et al. (2012) and Woo et al. (2021) from a few class sessions ago.
