The FedTalk series brings the Cleveland Fed together with industry experts, local businesses, community organizations, policymakers, and engaged citizens to discuss issues affecting the communities and people we serve.
Upcoming FedTalks
Understanding Financial Health: Race and the Financial Lives of Young Adults and Students
Noon to 1:30 pm EDT
For National Financial Literacy Month, our April FedTalk will invite public policy and education experts to discuss race and the financial lives of students and young adults (18-36 years old). They will explore the existing disparities in financial health outcomes and the unique challenges experienced by communities of color. They will also discuss the structural conditions that play a role in deciding what types of opportunities will be available to different groups of people and the implications financial literacy education has in narrowing the racial wealth gap.
A Q&A session will follow the discussion.
Moderator: Alexandria Halmbacher, Manager, Education and Museum Outreach, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
Our speakers:
- Abdullah Al‐Bahrani, Associate Professor of Economics and the Director of the Center for Economics Education, Northern Kentucky University
