WEST WINDSOR – Dr. Douglas S. Massey, Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University, will give a lecture at Mercer County Community College (MCCC) on the two major trends that have radically transformed the demographic structure of the United States: the resurgence of economic inequality, and the advent of mass immigration from Latin America.
“America’s Changing Demography With Respect to Race, Class, and Ethnicity” will be the subject of Massey’s lecture at noon on Thursday, April 9 in the Communications Building, Room 108. His talk is part of the college’s Spring Distinguished Lecture Series held at the West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road, and is free and open to the public.
In his lecture, Massey will discuss trends that have evolved from U.S. policy decisions that have created a new demographic reality for the nation.
Massey received his Ph.D. in Sociology at Princeton University in 1978, and did post-doctoral work in demography at Princeton and the University of California-Berkeley. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society.
