Central College hosts Census Lecture
Anya Butt, professor of biology at Central College, will present "Data Builds a Tapestry: Defining and Understanding Our Community Via the Census." The presentation delves into the upcoming 2020 census, explores lessons learned from previous censuses and reflects on the "American Tapestry," which provides a detailed description of America's neighborhoods as defined by our demographics. The lecture will take place at 7pm in the Boat and Moore Rooms in Maytag Student Center on Central's campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Butt's lecture is the first in a series of four presentations in Central's 2018-19 Living in Community Faculty Lecture Series. Each lecture will address such questions as: What does it mean to live in community? What connects us and what separates us as community members? How do we create communities that are good for everyone?
Later lectures in the same series will explore novelist Thomas Pynchon's search for community, whether immigrants lower wages for native workers and how the views of ancient philosophers can help us address current political and social concerns.
