Ney bridges policy and data to understand U.S. income inequality.
Nora Delaney
Jeremy Ney grew up in Brooklyn thinking that the American dream was accessible to everyone. He watched as his grandfather started his own supermarket business from nothing, and as his father helped grow that family business for many years. He watched his mother rise as a lawyer in the public and private sectors through hard work and ingenuity. But when the 2008 financial crisis hit, Ney and his family realized that the door to opportunity could slam shut quickly. Friends and family lost their jobs seemingly overnight, and he remembers biking past shuttered stores that had been in the neighborhood for years.

The guilty verdict in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was greeted with relief and a bit of surprise by some in Roxbury, one of Boston’s largest Black communities.
On the surface it was just another day in Nubian Square. Commuters lined up at buses, several men were selling loose cigarettes to make ends meet, and a group of half masked men congregated on a corner talking about a day they thought they would never see a white policeman convicted of murdering an unarmed Black man. For Benny Turner, the Chauvin verdict made April 20, 2021 anything but just another day.
