Researcher Spotlight

Katie Zager is a Social Research Specialist whose work focuses on using data to make visible many of the invisible disparities that lurk in our region. "I was drawn to geography because of its emphasis on place as a connector between so many different issues; where people live and work can have an impact on economic and health outcomes, people's ability to access basic goods and services, and how people relate to the world around them," she said.
