How Real Estate Data-Sharing Practices Impact Housing Affordability |
Friday, May 2 | 10:30-11:30AM ET | Wexner 434 or Zoom
Ian Spangler is a cultural & economic geographer with interests in digital mapping, housing studies, and race & landscape in the US. He currently serves as Assistant Curator of Digital & Participatory Geography at the Leventhal Map & Education Center at the Boston Public Library. He holds a PhD in Geography from the University of Kentucky.
At this session of Data + Donuts, Ian will present his dissertation research exploring how spatial data standardization practices shape the design and use of real estate technologies. Focusing on housing in the U.S. real estate industry, Ian asks: how do standards, standardizing practices, and the institutions that enforce those practices affect housing?
This event is open to all, including members of the public. |

New Behind the Book video with Iris Bohnet & Siri Chilazi |
|
|
|
Making work truly fair for all, through rigorous research |
Behind the Book is a video storytelling series that dives into books authored by HKS faculty. Each video distills one book's critical insights for a worldwide audience.
Our latest video features Iris Bohnet (Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government and Co-Director of the Women and Public Policy Program) and Siri Chilazi (Senior Researcher at the Women and Public Policy Program). Their latest book is Make Work Fair: Data-Driven Design for Real Results. In it, Bohnet and Chilazi demonstrate how workplace DEI programs haven't always achieved their desired results. They argue that if organizations want to make work truly fair for all, they must use rigorously researched strategies to allocate the same time and resources they would to any other facet of business. |
