Presenter: Vince Wang, Assistant Professor, Runstad Department of Real Estate, CBE
Title: The Nonprofit Path of Research Career
Bio: Dr. Wang studies spatial justice and inclusive communities, including their impacts reflected in the built environment, human behaviors, and housing policy interventions. He has designed and conducted a U.S. Census of inclusionary zoning policies, a U.S. census of community land trusts, and a national performance evaluation of shared equity homeownership programs. His research expands to policy evaluation for the two largest federal assisted housing rental programs in the U.S.: the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program and the Housing Choice Voucher program. He grounds his research with applied tools to democratize data for low-income communities.
Abstract: What are the career paths with a PhD degree? In this seminar, Dr. Wang will share his lived experience heading a research department in a national nonprofit organization after receiving his doctoral degree. He will talk about the role of the nonprofit sector in the U.S., his research activities in the organization, and perhaps the “pros and cons” of working in a nonprofit sector.
