UEP’s Spring 2020 Field Projects cohort encountered a semester unlike any other. Despite the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, accompanying health risks, and a sudden shift to remote everything, the nine teams produced quality research on policy and planning issues across Massachusetts.
In order to help celebrate the achievements of a diverse group–including part-time, first, and second-year students across multiple UEP majors–we’ve decided to share their virtual presentations below. Teams are listed based on the day on which they presented in late April.
For a deep dive into any of the below topics, this year’s Field Projects reports can be viewed and downloaded here.
