Mara Ostfeld, associate faculty director at Poverty Solutions, assistant research scientist at the Ford School of Public Policy, research director at the Center for Racial Justice, and faculty lead for the Detroit Metro Area Community Study, focuses her research on understanding the relationship between race, gender, media, and public opinion. This week, Ostfeld joined Michigan Minds to discuss a study that surveys residents of Puerto Rico to better understand their opinions. Ostfeld explains that the lack of existing data makes the initiative more important than ever, especially with the complications created by Hurricane Fiona.
