SUMMARY:Siwan Anderson\, University of British Columbia\, Vancouver
DESCRIPTION:  \n“Legal Origins and Female HIV “ \nMore than half of all people living with HIV are women and 80% of all HIV positive women in the world live in Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper demonstrates that the legal origins of these formally colonized countries significantly determines current day female HIV rates. In particular\, female HIV rates are significantly higher in common law Sub-Saharan African countries compared to Civil law ones. This paper explains this relationship by focusing on differences in female property rights under the two codes of law. In Sub-Saharan Africa\, common law is associated with weaker female marital property laws. As a result\, women in these common law countries have lower bargaining power within the household and are less able to negotiate safer sex and are thus more vulnerable to HIV\, compared to their civil law counterparts. Exploiting the fact that some ethnic groups in Sub-Saharan Africa cross country borders with different legal systems\, we are able to include ethnicity fixed effects into a regression discontinuity approach. This allows us to control for a large set of cultural\, geographical\, and environmental factors that could be confounding the estimates. The results of this paper are consistent with gender inequality (the ‘feminization of AIDS’) explaining much of its prevalence in Sub-Saharan Africa. \nMore on Prof. Anderson

SUMMARY:Jeremy Freese\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:“The Problem of Causal Mutualisms\, The Promise of Polygenic Scores\, and The Pervasive Divergence of Life Outcomes” \nAbstract: \nCasual mutualisms are sets of properties that have substantial reciprocal influence on one another.  This may sound abstruse\, but various big constructs in behavioral science\, including “heritability\,” “SES”\, “health”\, and “achievement\,” exhibit clear signs of instantiating massive mutualisms and yet many implications of their doing so remain largely unpursued.  The talk will describe the problem and several routes into it by reference to a series of phenomena that might otherwise appear unrelated\, on intellectual achievement\, educational attainment\, and health disparities. Together these examples are used to argue for a more strongly integrative and developmental social science\, as well as the potential value of predictive scores based on genomic information for helping reckon with mutualisms. \n  \nMore on Prof. Freese

SUMMARY:Julia Lane\, New York University
DESCRIPTION:“Research Funding and the Foreign Born” \nThere has been a resurgence of interest in the link between immigration and economic activity. The evidence suggests that US education plays an important role in both attracting and retaining high-quality foreign-born students. This is particularly true in the case of doctorates trained in science\, technology\, engineering and mathematics (STEM)\, a workforce that is disproportionately foreign born and likely to contribute to long-term economic growth. Because of this\, much effort is given toward attracting talented students and retaining them in the US workforce after they complete their studies. However\, little is known about how that attraction and retention works.  In this paper we use new data to examine the role of an important policy lever-research funding—in keeping both domestic and foreign-born workers in the US labor market. \n  \nMore on Prof. Julia Lane

SUMMARY:Damon Centola\, University of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:Diffusion in Social Networks:  New Theory and Experiments\nAbstract: The strength of weak ties is that they tend to be long – they connect socially distant locations. Research on “small worlds” shows that these long ties can dramatically reduce the “degrees of separation” of a social network\, thereby allowing ideas and behaviors to rapidly diffuse. However\, I show that the opposite can also be true.  Increasing the frequency of long ties in a clustered social network can also inhibit the diffusion of collective behavior across a population.  For health related behaviors that require strong social reinforcement\, such as dieting\, exercising\, smoking cessation\, or even condom use\, successful diffusion may depend primarily on the width of bridges between otherwise distant locations\, not just their length.  I present formal and computational results that demonstrate these findings\, and then present an experimental test of the effects of social network topology on the diffusion of health behavior. \nMore on Prof. Centola

SUMMARY:Devesh Kapur\, University of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:“The Other One Percent: Indians in America” \nAbstract: \nPeople of Indian origin—whether they are Indian-born or American-born—make up about 1% of the U.S. population. While there are several anecdotal accounts of Indians in America as well as scholarly studies on specific sub-groups\, The Other One Percent is the first data-driven comprehensive account of the community. The book focuses on three major issues: Selection—the processes by which people from a low-income country have become the highest-income and most-educated group in the U.S; Assimilation—the multiple pathways and challenges of integration while maintaining some aspects of their distinctive identities; and Entrepreneurship—from motels to medicine and finance to technology. Drawing from different academic disciplines\, the book examines the entire community\, from its successful to its marginal members. The Other One Percent is a follow-up to Kapur’s prior book\, Diaspora\, Democracy and Development: The Impact of International Migration From India on India\, for which he earned a 2012 ENMISA Distinguished Book Award of the International Studies Association. \n

SUMMARY:Naomi Sugie\, University of California\, Irvine
DESCRIPTION:“Utilizing Smartphones to Study Disadvantaged and Hard-to-Reach Groups: The Newark Smartphone Reentry Project” \nAbstract: In this talk\, I discuss the use of smartphones to collect real-time information on the experiences of men recently released from prison and on parole in Newark\, New Jersey. Mobile technologies\, specifically smartphones\, offer social scientists a potentially powerful approach to examine the social world. They enable researchers to collect information that was previously unobservable or difficult to measure\, expanding the realm of empirical investigation. For research that concerns resource-poor and hard-to-reach groups\, such as men recently released from prison\, smartphones may be particularly advantageous by lessening sample selection and attrition and by improving measurement quality of irregular and unstable experiences. The first part of this talk describes the project and the smartphone application. I then present findings from one working paper\, which uses GPS estimates to assess neighborhood-level daytime exposure by men on parole and the association between exposure and crime rates.   \nMore on Prof. Sugie

SUMMARY:Ilan Meyer\, University of California\, Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:“Minority  Stress and the Health of Sexual and Gender Minorities: Challenges and Innovations in Population Studies”  \nABSTRACT  \nIn several highly cited papers\, Dr. Meyer has developed a model of minority stress that describes the role of prejudice and stigma in promoting social stressors that bring about adverse health outcomes for LGBT people. The model has guided his and other investigators’ population research on LGBT health disparities by identifying the mechanisms by which social stressors impact health and describing the harm to LGBT people from prejudice and stigma. In this talk\, Dr. Meyer will describe minority stress research findings and current challenges to the study of LGBT health. He will describe two new NIH-funded research projects that take advantage of methodological innovations. In these projects\, Dr. Meyer and co-investigators assess the role of historical context and the social environment in understanding how social changes impact the study of minority stress to help understand health and well-being of LGBT people. \nWatch Podcast Here \nMore on Prof. Ilan Meyer

SUMMARY:Jenna Nobles\, University of Wisconsin
DESCRIPTION:“Characterizing Cohort Loss Before Birth” \nAbstract: Answers to many central questions in the social sciences depend upon the assumption that cohort loss before birth is ignorable. Evidence from inferential population studies and small-scale cohort studies increasingly suggests otherwise. Up to 70% of human pregnancies terminate before birth; these losses appear to be non-random. In this research we consider the implications of prenatal cohort loss for a few key demographic questions\, including the effects of early-life exposures on later-life health and the effects of child traits on parent outcomes. In so doing\, we extend a long history of demographic research on cohort selection to the prenatal period. We conclude with a discussion of new\, big data approaches to learn more about how prenatal exposures shape population traits.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Van Hook\, Penn State
DESCRIPTION:“Exposure to the United States and Healthy Eating Among U.S. Immigrants: \nA Life Course Perspective on Immigrant Health” \nABSTRACT \nThe negative acculturation perspective predicts that immigrants’ health advantages erode with increasing exposure to the U.S. due to the adoption of the unhealthy default American lifestyle. Focusing on diet\, we argue that this perspective underestimates immigrants’ abilities to maintain healthy eating patterns\, especially among adult immigrant arrivals\, and fails to account for how migration during childhood can disrupt important developmental processes. We advance an alternative “life course perspective on immigrant health” and present evidence for it by examining the associations of age at arrival and duration of residence with healthy eating among adult immigrants. Our results suggest that earlier age at arrival is negatively associated with healthy eating and that duration of residence has a weak but positive association with healthy eating\, especially among those who arrived as adults. The results call into question notions that emphasize a steady erosion of healthy eating with time and acculturation. Instead\, they support the life course perspective and point to the importance of early childhood exposures for understanding how living in the U.S. influences healthy eating among immigrants. \nWatch Podcast Here \nWebsite \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Tyler McCormick\, University of Washington
DESCRIPTION:“Probabilistic Cause-of-Death Assignment using Verbal Autopsies” \nABSTRACT \nIn areas without complete-coverage civil registration and vital statistics systems there is uncertainty about even the most basic demographic indicators.  In such areas the majority of deaths occur outside hospitals and are not recorded.  Worldwide\, fewer than one-third of deaths are assigned a cause\, with the least information available from the most impoverished nations.  In populations like this\, verbal autopsy (VA) is a commonly used tool to assess cause of death and estimate cause-specific mortality rates and the distribution of deaths by cause.  VA uses an interview with caregivers of the decedent to elicit data describing the signs and symptoms leading up to the death.  This talk describes a new statistical method to classify cause of death using information acquired through VA.  Unlike current approaches\, our method shares uncertainty between cause of death assignments for specific individuals and the distribution of deaths by cause across the population.  We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method using side-by-side comparisons with both observed and simulated data. \nWebsite \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Enrico Moretti\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:The Effect of State Taxes on the Geographical Location of Top Earners: Evidence from Star Scientists \nAbstract \nIn the U.S.\, personal and business taxes vary enormously from state to state. While these differences have the potential to affect the geographical location of highly skilled workers and employers across the country\, evidence on their effects is limited. We uncover large\, stable\, and precisely estimated effects of personal and corporate taxes on star scientists’ migration patterns. The long run elasticity of mobility relative to taxes is 1.8 for personal income taxes and 1.9 for state corporate income tax. While there are other factors that drive when innovative individual and innovative companies decide to locate\, there are enough firms and workers on the margin that state taxes matter. \nWebsite \nEnrico Moretti is the Michael Peevy and Donald Vial Professor of Economics at the University of California\, Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Mark Hayward\, University of Texas at Austin
DESCRIPTION:“Do Recent Declines in U.S. Life Expectancy Mean Bad News for Healthy Life Expectancy?“ \nABSTRACT \nLife expectancy for non-Hispanic white (henceforth white) Americans with less than high school education has fallen in recent years—particularly for women – while life expectancy has increased substantially for the college educated population.  However\, the extent to which the declines/increases in life expectancy translate into healthy life expectancy remains unclear. \nMethods: We combine data from the Health and Retirement Study and U.S. Vital Statistics\, using the Sullivan method\, to decompose the change in total life expectancy (TLE) to healthy life expectancy (HLE) and disabled life expectancy (DLE) between 2000 and 2010\, specific to gender and education groups. We measured disabled life expectancy using both severe (ADL) and less severe (IADL) disability prevalence. \nResults: Consistent with previous research\, we find a modest downward/stable TLE change in the US is concentrated at the bottom end of the education distribution for whites and at ages prior to age 65. Although there was little change in TLE\, substantial gains in DLE and losses in HLE were observed\, due to the increased rates of disability (especially ADL disability) before age 70. Among the college educated\, TLE increased substantially during the decade\, especially among males. HLE also increased over the decade\, with much of the increase from declining mortality after age 70. Much of the improvement in HLE from mortality was offset by a rise in IADL disability. \nConclusions: The demographic factors influencing HLE shifted from younger ages to advanced ages with higher levels of educational attainment. The findings show that focusing exclusively on the declines in life expectancy\, and external causes of death\, obfuscates a more dynamic decline in health among whites with low levels of education and significant improvements in health among highly educated persons. \nWebsite \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n830-9am: Prof. Dora Costa- 4284J Public Affairs Building \n9am-930am: Prof. Teresa Seeman-  4284J Public Affairs Building \n930am-10am: Prof. Dawn Upchurch- 4284J Public Affairs Building \n10am-1030am: Prof. Kathleen McGarry- 4284J Public Affairs Building \n1030am-11am: Heeju Sohn\, Postdoc- 4284J Public Affairs Building \n12-130pm: Seminar Talk- 4240 Public Affairs Building \n130-230pm: Proseminar Lunch- 4240 Public Affairs Building

SUMMARY:Pauline Rossi\, Paris
DESCRIPTION:“Strategic Choices in Polygamous Households: Theory and Evidence from Senegal” \nABSTRACT \nThis paper proposes a strategic framework to account for fertility choices in polygamous households.  A theoretical model specifies the main drivers of fertility in the African context and describes how the fertility of one wife might impact the behavior of her co-wives. It generates predictions to test for strategic interactions. Exploiting original data from a household survey and the Demographic and Health Surveys in Senegal\, empirical tests show that children are strategic complements. One wife raises her fertility in response to an increase by the other wife\, because children are the best claim to resources controlled by the husband. This result is the first quantitative evidence of a reproductive rivalry between co-wives. It suggests that the sustained high level of fertility in Africa does not merely reflect women’s lack of control over births\, as is often argued\, but also their incentives to have many children. This paper also contributes to the literature on household behavior as one of the few attempts to open the black box of non-nuclear families. \nWebsite \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu

SUMMARY:Till von Wachter\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:“Firming Up Inequality” \nABSTRACT \nWe use a massive\, new\, matched employer-employee database for the United States to analyze the contribution of firms to the rise in earnings inequality from 1978 to 2013. We find that two thirds of the rise in the variance of earnings is associated with workers’ employers\, whereas one third occurs within firms. The employer-related rise in the variance can be decomposed into two roughly equally important forces – a rise in the assortative matching of high-wage workers to high-wage firms and a rise in segregation of similar workers between firms. In contrast\, we do not find a rise in the variance of firm-specific pay once we control for worker composition. The rise in the employer-related inequality was particularly strong in smaller and medium-sized firms (explaining 84% for firms with fewer than 10\,000 employees)\, driven by worker sorting and segregation. In contrast\, in the very largest firms with 10\,000+ employees\, almost half of the increase in the variance of earnings took place within firms\, driven by both declines in earnings for employees below the median and a substantial rise in earnings for the 10% best-paid employees. We also find that for the very top earners\, who experienced particularly large earnings gains over the last decades\, a larger share of earnings growth occurred within firms. However\, the contribution of these top earners to the overall increase in earnings inequality is small. \nSpeaker Website \n

SUMMARY:Michael Greenstone\, University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:“Energy Efficiency Investments\, Self-Selection\, and Welfare” \nAbstract: This paper evaluates the welfare consequences\, rather than simply measuring energy savings\, of a popular energy efficiency program exploiting a 100\,000 household field experiment in Wisconsin. There are five main findings.  First\, nudges\, information\, and behavioral interventions do not increase program participation but monetary incentives do. Second\, the take-up of energy efficiency investments is relatively inelastic to expected returns and reveals substantial non-monetary benefits and costs. Third\, individuals that select into the energy efficiency program based on financial incentives are less likely to make efficiency investments than individuals that select in on their own\, suggesting that these programs’ returns may decline as they expand. Fourth\, we find that realized energy savings are just 64% of projected savings and the social internal rate of return on these investments is -1.8%. Fifth\, the revealed preference welfare analysis suggests that the program reduced welfare\, primarily because subsidies exceeded uninternalized externality damages. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Till von Wachter \n3:00 pm – 3:30 pm: Prof. Edward Kung \n3:30 pm – 4:00 pm: Prof. Moshe Buchinsky \n4:00 pm – 4:30 pm: Prof. Leah Boustan \n4:30 pm – 5:30 pm: Prof. Michael Jerrett (CHS) \n

SUMMARY:Paula England\, New York University
DESCRIPTION:“How the Motherhood Penalty Varies by Wage\, Cognitive Skill\, and Race: A Reassessment”\n*Co-sponsored with the Family Working Group. \nAbstract:  Motherhood reduces women’s wages. Is the size of this penalty largest among the most or least advantaged women? Two 2010 papers using the same panel data suggest opposite answers to this question. With and without controls for years of employment experience\, Wilde et al. find higher motherhood wage penalties for those with higher cognitive skill\, while Budig and Hodges find higher penalties for women at lower wage levels. Taken together\, these findings are puzzling\, because women with higher cognitive skills typically have higher wages. Using unconditional quantile regression\, panel data\, and fixed effects\, we assess how penalties vary by intersections of skill\, wage level\, and race. We find that the most advantaged women—white women with high cognitive skills and high wages—experience the highest total proportionate penalties\, estimated to include effects mediated through experience. Although this group has the most continuous experience\, their high returns to experience make even the small amounts of time they typically take out of employment for child rearing costly. Penalties net of experience\, which might represent employer discrimination or effects of motherhood on job performance\, do not differ consistently by race\, skill\, or wage; they afflict advantaged and disadvantaged women approximately equally. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu \n10:00 am – 10:30 am: Heeju Sohn \n10:30 am – 11:00 am: Mieke Eeckhaut \n11:00 am – 11:30 am: Sung Park \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Larissa Dooley\, Karra Greenberg\, Rustin Partow\, Amber Villalobos \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Jamie Goodwin-White \n4:00 pm – 4:30 pm: Lei Feng \n4:30 pm – 5:00 pm: Karra Greenberg

DESCRIPTION:“Does Competition Eliminate Discrimination? Evidence from the Commercial Sex Market in Singapore” \nAbstract: The street sex worker market in Geylang\, Singapore is a highly competitive market in which clients can search legally at negligible cost\, making it ideal for testing Diamond’s hypothesis regarding search and monopoly pricing. As Diamond predicts\, price discrimination survives in this market. Despite an excess supply of workers\, but consistent with their self-reported attitudes and beliefs\, sex workers charge Caucasians (Bangladeshis) more (less)\, based on perceived willingness to pay\, and are more (less) likely to approach and reach an agreement with them. Consistent with taste discrimination\, they avoid Indians\, charge more and reach an agreement with them less frequently. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n10:30 am – 11:00 am : Prof. Mosche Buchinsky (8373 Bunche Hall) \n11:00 am – 11:30 am : Prof. Manisha Shah ( 6333 Public Affairs Bldg.) \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Carolina Arteaga\, Amanda Nguyen\, Lena Reiss \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Sarah Reber \n3:00 pm – 4:00 pm: Prof. Leah Boustan (9262 Bunche Hall) \n4:00 pm – 4:30 pm: Prof. Till von Wachter (9367 Bunche Hall) \n4:30 pm – 5:00 pm: Prof. Randall Akee (6367 Public Affairs Bldg.) \n

SUMMARY:Raj Chetty\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:“The Relationship between Income and Life Expectancy: Local Area Variation in the United States\, 2001-2014” \nAbstract:  We examine inequality in life expectancy using 1.4 billion anonymous earnings and mortality records covering the U.S. population from 1999-2014. We present four main findings. First\, higher income is associated with greater longevity throughout the income distribution. The richest 1% of American men live 15 years longer than the poorest 1%\, while the richest 1% of American women live 10 years longer than the poorest 1%. Second\, inequality in life expectancy has increased in recent years at the national level. From 2001-2014\, the richest 5% of Americans gained approximately 3 years in longevity\, but the poorest 5% experienced no gains. Third\, life expectancy varies substantially across areas\, especially for low-income individuals. Life expectancy varies by approximately 5 years between the areas with the highest and lowest longevity. Trends in life expectancy varied substantially across areas as well\, ranging from gains of more than 4 years between 2001 and 2014\, to losses of more than 2 years. Fourth\, differences in life expectancy across areas for low-income individuals are highly correlated with differences in health behaviors such as smoking\, obesity and exercise. In contrast\, life expectancy for low-income Americans is not significantly correlated with measures of the quantity and quality of medical care\, local income inequality\, residential segregation\, and labor market conditions. Low-income individuals tend to live the longest (and have the most healthful behaviors) in affluent cities with highly educated populations and high levels of government expenditures. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars@ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Prof. Jennie Brand\, Ryan Cho\, Dylan Connor\, Ravaris Moore\, Amanda Nguyen\, Ben Smith and Chad Stecher \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Manisha Shah \n3:00 pm – 3:30 pm: Prof. Leah Boustan \n3:30 pm – 4:00 pm: Prof. Moshe Buchinsky \n4:00 pm – 4:30 pm: Prof. Till Von Wachter \n4:30 pm – 5:00 pm: Prof. Adriana Lleras-Muney

The World Health Organization now recommends that all people at substantial risk of HIV should be offered pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). While PrEP awareness has generally increased\, actual PrEP usage among MSM has been limited. Little is known about PrEP awareness\, attitudes\, and uptake among racially and ethnically diverse YMSM. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Matthew Miller\, Lena Reiss

SUMMARY:James Macinko\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:“Self-reported racial identity\, genomic ancestry\, and health disparities in Brazil: an exploratory study” \nAbstract: Health disparities based on skin color/racial identification are present in many societies. In Brazil\, studies have shown that people who describe their skin color as other than white (e.g. mixed\, black\, and/or indigenous) are more likely to report discrimination\, are less likely to receive some types of health services\, experience higher mortality\, and have higher rates of some negative health behaviors. But how should we interpret these disparities given Brazil’s complex\, fluid\, and changing system of ethnoracial classification and racial identity? This study explores the congruence between genome-wide measures of ancestry and self-reported ethnoracial identify in Brazil and assesses their relationship with 4 health outcomes with distinct etiologies: self-rated health\, hypertension\, complications from Chagas disease\, and all-cause mortality. Preliminary results are discussed in terms of implications for measuring and addressing such disparities in a dynamic multiracial society. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Larissa Dooley

SUMMARY:Sigal Alon\, Tel Aviv University
DESCRIPTION:“Race\, Class and Affirmative Action” \nView Podcast Here \nAbstract: This book-length manuscript (forthcoming by the Russell Sage Foundation in the Fall 2015) evaluates the ability of class-based affirmative action to promote the social and economic mobility of disadvantaged populations and boost diversity at selective postsecondary institutions\, as compared with race-based policy. The book draws from within- and between-country comparisons of several prototypes of affirmative action policy. She uses the United States as a case study of race-based preferences\, and Israel as a case study of class-based preferences. For each country she compares the model that has actually been implemented to a simulated scenario of the alternative policy type. The overarching goal of this book is to develop new\, and more global insights about the potential of race-neutral public policy to promote equality in higher education. \nIf you are interested in meeting with or joining the speaker for lunch\, please send email to Seminars AT ccpr.ucla.edu \n10:00 am – 10:30 am: Prof. Siwei Cheng \n10:30 am – 11:00 am: Prof. Megan Sweeney \n12:00 pm – 1:30 pm: Seminar \n1:30 pm – 2:30 pm: Proseminar Lunch: Sara Johnsen\, Lena Reiss\, Mienah Sharif\, Chad Stecher \n2:30 pm – 3:00 pm: Prof. Judith Seltzer \n3:00 pm – 3:30 pm: Prof. Rob Mare
