Time Will Tell: Exploring the Relationship Between Structural Racism and Our Time
Time is increasingly being viewed as a resource that is inequitably distributed by race and ethnicity, with implications for inequities in mobility, stress, and health. Examples of time impositions that racial minorities face, due to an imbalance of community resources, may include excessive travel time to work or quality schools and waiting in line for basic services. Public health scholar Linnea Evans will investigate how structural racism impacts racial differences in time-use. She will analyze data from the American Time Use Survey, the U.S. Census, and the National Conference of State Legislatures for her study.
