About the Speakers
Michael Corey is the Geospatial, Technical and Data Lead / Associate Director for the Mapping Prejudice Project. Before transitioning to public history, Michael spent 20 years as a journalist and data journalist at the Star Tribune, Reveal from the Center for Investigative Reporting and the Des Moines Register.
His previous work has spanned zoning and segregation, mortgage disparities, the U.S.-Mexico border fence system, human-induced earthquakes, and sexual abuse in the Catholic Church.
Prof. Aradhya Sood received her Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Minnesota. Her research interests include urban and real estate economics, industrial organization, and applied microeconomics. Her research includes studying historic factors and current policies associated with land and residential zoning and their effects on the spatial distribution of economic and residential activities in the context of cities and regions in the U.S. and India.
In particular, her research has focused on studying the detrimental effects of land friction on the growth of Indian manufacturing firms, understanding the long-term consequences of racial historical housing practices on the internal socio-economic geography of cities in the U.S., and the role of local politics and zoning on the housing markets.
