DESCRIPTION:Cornell University Associate Professor Dan Hirschman will prese
 nt\, "The Stylized Facts of Inequality\," as part of the Sociology Departm
 ent Colloquium Series.&nbsp\;Abstract:&nbsp\;This talk highlights one infl
 uential category of quantitative descriptive claim: stylized facts. Styliz
 ed facts are simple empirical regularities in need of explanation. Stylize
 d facts serve as quasi-phenomena for academic research\, but also travel d
 irectly into political debates. I illustrate these dynamics through the in
 tertwined history of research on the racial wealth gap and political deman
 ds for racial justice in the United States.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;
