Perspectives on Public Policy: Systemic Inequality with Dr. David McMillon

About the Event

Saturday, December 14
12-1:30 PM ET

virtual event; open to the public

Join Girls Write Now and Dr. David McMillon, Assistant Professor of Economics at Emory University, for a timely discussion on how public policy can address systemic inequality. Dr. McMillon, who works at the intersection of economics and social justice, will explore how policies in education, criminal justice, and economic systems can either perpetuate or dismantle entrenched disadvantages. Drawing from his research, which includes collaborations with the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank and the Samuel DuBois Cook Center for Racial Equity, he will provide insights on crafting policies that target the root causes of inequality, not just its symptoms.

Dr. McMillon will also discuss how policymakers can use systems thinking to anticipate unintended consequences and design interventions that promote long-term fairness and equity. His expertise in stratification economics has shaped important policy conversations around wealth inequality, crime, reparations, and education reform.

This session offers a powerful opportunity to deepen your understanding of public policy’s role in shaping a more equitable society. Don’t miss it!
