Housing Discrimination Study Innovative Methodology Project Conference


On September 27, 2022, 2M Research, with support from HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R), is hosting a virtual conference focused on the identification and measurement of housing discrimination. This conference is part of an exciting study to find new and innovative methodologies that uncover and measure housing discrimination. Our objective is that these methodologies will augment current testing approaches, such as paired and sandwich testing. This conference is an opportunity to meet experts in the field of discrimination research and testing, discuss ideas, and ask questions.

The conference will feature a panel discussion focused on various topics, including:

  • Promising or innovative research trends related to discrimination
  • Gaps in research and testing of discrimination
  • Methodological challenges in researching and testing discrimination
  • Adapting testing protocols to technological changes (for example, ways to detect and capture differential treatment that might occur before in-person interactions)
