Please join CURA for a special brown-bag research presentation given by Rein Ahas, Professor of Human Geography, University of Tartu, Estonia. Ethnic segregation is a crucial issue in many urban areas since it associates with problems in education, employment, poverty, safety, and health care.  Traditional analysis of segregation based on where people live may not show a complete picture since people spend their lives in many different places or activities other than home.  This presentation will highlight how to use location-tracking data such as cell phone records to measure social segregation on a 24/7 basis.Light refreshments will be available Derby Hall 1186 The STEAM Factory at The Ohio State University steamfactory@osu.edu America/New_York public
