The evening’s moderator is Adrian Walker, associate editor and columnist, The Boston Globe.
Thursday, October 21, 2021 Live via Zoom at 6:00 pm This event is free and open to the public.
Since 2002, the Suffolk University Political Research Center (SUPRC) has conducted innovative survey research and political polling. Now, over a year after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis brought a new racial reckoning to the forefront, Suffolk University in Boston joins the national conversation with “Suffolk City View,” a new series of polls on racial justice, policing, and other urban issues in America’s most diverse cities. After successful pilot polls in Milwaukee in June 2021 and Detroit in July 2021, and with plans to expand to other cities across the country over the course of the next year, SUPRC wants to know how urban residents feel about the state of race and city life in the 21st century and to investigate solutions to the conflict between law enforcement and the ongoing police and criminal justice reform movement. Moving beyond the buzzwords of “Black Lives Matter” or “Defund the Police,” SUPRC’s surveys will delve deep into current events and join the ranks of innovative research conducted by Suffolk University.
