Past Convenings: 2004 As part of our effort to support an infrastructure of collaboration between researchers, lawyers and advocates, we believe in the importance for CRP to conduct conferences and trainings. Many of our conferences are envisioned to foster debate and have drawn experts from several distinct areas, commissioned for further research by CRP. Our convenings for 2004 included:
November 5, 2004. Cambridge, MA The Civil Rights Project at Harvard University and the Southern Poverty Law Center co-sponsored a research roundtable entitled, "Positive Interracial Outcomes in the Classroom.” The goal of the event was to create an active policy discussion between researchers and advocates. Barriers to Housing – Race, Place and Home: A Civil Rights and Metropolitan Opportunity Agenda June 8, 2004. Washington, D.C. The goal of this roundtable was to focus on the racial justice dimensions of federal housing policy with an emphasis on identifying measures that might help communities of color gain greater access to affordable housing and better metropolitan opportunities. Roundtable on Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care Treatment May 18, 2004. Boston, MA The Civil Rights Project joined health care and health policy experts at Harvard to work with national stakeholders to develop and advance a research-based policy and legal agenda aimed at systematically addressing racial and ethnic inequalities in health care treatment.
