Tour of “The Problem of Colored Lines: Student Debt and Racial Disparities” Exhibit

Join us for a tour of “The Problem of Colored Lines: Student Debt and Racial Disparities” at Stokes Library – located on the lower level of Wallace Hall.

Jeffrey Himpele, Director of the VizE Lab for Ethnographic Data Visualization, and Fred Wherry, Director of the Dignity + Debt Network (Department of Sociology), use visualizations inspired by the charts and maps created by sociologist W.E.B. Du Bois that depict wealth disparities between Blacks and Whites, to demonstrate some of the color lines and the social complexities within the urgent issue of student loan debt.
