GIRI Capstone Event to Showcase Student Research on Inequality

The Global Inequality Research Initiative (GIRI) Capstone Event is set to take place on Monday, April 21, 2025, from 11:45 AM to 1:00 PM, offering a platform for students to present their semester-long research projects. 

GIRI facilitates integrated study and research, preparing students for advanced academic work and professional research opportunities. The capstone course guides students through a rigorous process that includes exposure to both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, data gathering, cleaning, analysis, and research presentation.

At the capstone event, students will present their work in poster and presentation formats, providing an opportunity to engage in academic dialogue and receive critical feedback.

This semester’s event will feature research from students in the Inequality and Reparations course as well as the Disability Justice course. Whether focusing on policy solutions, historical analysis, or contemporary disparities, these student-led projects reflect GIRI’s commitment to open-ended, immersive research experiences.

Stay tuned for details on location!
