MPR Presents MN Diverse Communities Lunch and Learn
Want to know what Indigenous Minnesotans think of the state’s cultural amenities? Or what Hmong Minnesotans think about the state’s courts? Or what Latinx Minnesotans think of public schools? Or how Black Minnesotans finances have changed over the pandemic?
This past summer the APM Research Lab conducted the “Minnesota’s Diverse Communities Survey,” to address these questions and much more. MPR News has reported on some of the results, but there are many more stories to be told!
We hope that the survey can be a resource for media outlets and others throughout the state. We hope that survey results can serve as a jumping off point for broader and deeper conversations about the experiences of different racial and ethnic groups in Minnesota.
Come to this session to learn more about the results of the survey and how you might use the survey in your reporting or related work.
