 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/evicted-an-evening-with-matthew-desmond-tickets-128021392431\n\n\nMacArthur 
 “Genius” and Princeton sociologist Matthew Desmond discusses his book, 
 "Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City", and his work on housing 
 access and affordability as well as broader, longstanding issues of 
 critical importance to the health of our nation: income and housing 
 insecurity. He will be in conversation with Kevin McDonald, UVA’s Vice 
 President for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Community 
 Partnerships.\n\nDesmond's Eviction Lab at Princeton, launched in 2017, 
 recently released the Eviction Tracking System, which monitors eviction 
 filings in real time across a set of American cities, and, in partnership 
 with Columbia Law School Professor Emily Benfer, a policy scorecard for 
 each state, distilling the contents of thousands of newly-released 
 emergency orders, declarations, and legislation into a clear set of 
 critical measures included in, and left out of, state-level pandemic 
 responses related to eviction and housing.\n\n\nABOUT THE 
 SPEAKERS:\n\nMatthew Desmond, author of Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the 
 American City, is the founder of Princeton University’s Eviction Lab, 
 which maintains the first-ever national dataset of evictions in America, 
 collecting millions of data points back to 2000. Desmond is the Maurice P. 
 During Professor of Sociology at Princeton University. In 2015, he was 
 awarded the MacArthur “Genius” Grant for “revealing the impact of 
 eviction on the lives of the urban poor and its role in perpetuating racial 
 and economic inequality.”\n\nKevin McDonald is the University of 
 Virginia’s Vice President for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Community 
 Partnerships. He joined UVA after serving as the chief diversity officer 
 and vice chancellor for inclusion, diversity, and equity at the University 
 of Missouri System and the University of Missouri – 
 Columbia.\n\n\nCommunity Partners:	\n\n    Albemarle County Community
