Wealth and Poverty Action on Inequality Week

The Wealth and Poverty theme at Ohio University presents six speakers for "Action on Inequality Week" from Sept. 21-28.

Going beyond teaching, learning, and advocating for equality, many are taking positive, important actions against inequalities in income, health, education, and well-being in local communities. The Wealth and Poverty Week on Action on Inequality brings the OHIO community together to discuss various actions to combat the growing inequalities in our society and advance the common good
