SUMMARY:Robert Fairlie\, University of California\, Los Angeles\, "Affirmative Action\, Faculty Productivity and Caste Interactions: Evidence from Engineering Colleges in India"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Fairlie is a Distinguished Professor at UCLA. He is an Economist and Chair of the Department of Public Policy. He is also a member of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). He studies a wide range of topics including entrepreneurship\, education\, labor\, racial\, gender and caste inequality\, information technology\, immigration\, health\, and development. He received a Ph.D. and M.A. from Northwestern University and B.A. with honors from Stanford University\, and has held full-time or visiting positions at UC Santa Cruz\, Stanford University\, Yale University\, UC Berkeley\, and Australian National University. He has received funding from the National Science Foundation\, National Academies\, and Russell Sage Foundation as well as numerous government agencies and foundations\, and has testified in front of the U.S. Senate\, U.S. House of Representatives\, U.S. Department of Treasury\, and the California State Assembly. \nAffirmative Action\, Faculty Productivity and Caste Interactions: Evidence from Engineering Colleges in India\nAbstract: Affirmative action programs are often criticized because of concerns over lower worker productivity. In India\, colleges are required to reserve 50 percent of faculty hires from lower caste groups. We collect and analyze data from Indian engineering colleges\, some of which randomly assign students to classrooms. We find that reservation category faculty have lower education levels\, professorial ranks and experience than general category faculty. Yet\, we find no evidence that reservation category faculty provide lower quality instruction or have lower research or administrative productivity. Examining heterogeneity in instructional quality\, we also find no evidence of positive reservation category “teacher-like-me” effects. \n  \nAn audio recording of Robert Farilie’s presentation may be accessed here. \nThe slides of the presentation may be accessed here.

SUMMARY:Sarah Brayne\, Stanford University\, "Living and Dying in the Shadow of Mass Incarceration"
DESCRIPTION:Biography: Sarah Brayne is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology. In her work\, she uses qualitative and quantitative methods to understand whether and how data-intensive surveillance shapes individual trajectories and population-level disparities. Her first book\, Predict and Surveil: Data\, Discretion\, and the Future of Policing\, draws on ethnographic research within the Los Angeles Police Department to understand the social implications of law enforcement’s use of predictive analytics and new surveillance technologies. \nCurrent projects investigate whether and how exposure to the criminal legal system shapes racial and ethnic disparities in health\, aging\, and mortality; how social media data is used in the criminal legal process; and role of surveillance in forced migration. \nPrior to joining the faculty at Stanford\, Professor Brayne taught at the University of Texas at Austin\, where she co-founded the Texas Prison Education Initiative. She holds a B.A. in Sociology from the University of British Columbia\, an M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology from Princeton University\, and completed a postdoc at Microsoft Research. \n\n\n\nLiving and Dying in the Shadow of Mass Incarceration\n\n\n\nAbstract: In the United States\, racial disparities in life expectancy are well-documented. However\, the role of incarceration is largely absent from this research. This gap is striking\, given the disproportionate exposure to incarceration among Black men. In this talk\, I use administrative and vital statistics data to understand the impact of incarceration on racial disparities in life expectancy. This research highlights the complex interplay between incarceration and health\, ultimately arguing there is a critical need for analyses of data on incarceration in population research.
