For 60 years, the Kansas Statistical Abstract has provided an easy-to-access source of economic, demographic, and environmental data that provides valuable insights into the state for policymakers, communities, and researchers. Xan Wedel will provide a brief introduction and history of the KSA, and Zach Mohr will share how he uses state and local data available for teaching students about policy and statistics. IPSR is a research center supporting social scientists who focus on social problems and policy-relevant questions. Our monthly research luncheons provide a space for affiliated faculty and staff researchers to share their own ongoing work with the KU community.
