Toward Social Change: Building a Reciprocal Relationship between Social Science and the Arts

Panel and Reception feat. Rick Lowe

How do we come together to describe our social world? This panel will recount a set of research projects and creative practice engagements where social scientists and artists collaborate to bring insight into our social circumstances. Two projects will be described in detail– Black Wall Street Journey, which examines with a contemporary lens the economic well being in African American communities, and The Folded Map Project, which facilitates understanding of structural disparities among Chicago neighborhoods. This panel will discuss potential new research projects that bring together the arts and the social sciences.

Panelists: Rick Lowe, Tonika Lewis Johnson, Maria Krysan
Moderator: Kathleen Cagney
