    The Affordable Care Act: Is it Working in New Jersey?

    A Frank Assessment of the First Year of “Obamacare”

    The Affordable Care Act in New Jersey

    The ACA may be the most significant policy legacy of the Obama presidency. What can we tell about its impact after the first year of implementation in the Garden State and nationally? Did the reforms go too far or not far enough? What has been the impact on the front lines of health care services? What will be the impact of pending court cases, especially in states like New Jersey which do not have their own exchanges?

  • 4th Biennial Interdisciplinary Conference on Race

    The Monmouth University International Interdisciplinary Conference on
    Race     was founded by Dr. Julius O. Adekunle and Professor Hettie V. Williams.
    This conference evolved out of a series of conversations between Adekunle and
    Williams concerning the 2008 presidential campaign of Barack Obama as well as
    the changing definition of race in global societies. These discussions
    eventually culminated in the conference on race in November 2008. The first
    conference brought together more than 100 scholars from fifteen U.S. states,
    twelve nations, and four continents.

    We hope you can join us this year for some very timely conversations. Several events are free and open to the public. For registration information and a complete listing of events, please visit our web site.
