The event will be a half-day symposium at which scholars, public officials, private sector representatives, and other census stakeholders will address preparations for the 2020 Census and the challenges it faces, include funding, the proposed citizenship question, and the implications of an inaccurate count.
Preparations for the 2020 Census are underway, amidst conversations, controversy, and lawsuits over the possible addition of a citizenship question to the decennial survey. Join us as we bring together Census officials, stakeholders and scholars to discuss what’s at stake in 2020.
