Missouri Humanities

Dr. Ness Sandoval joins us for Season 2's inaugural episode to help us set the stage for this idea of the “Movement and Settlement of Missourians.” He’s a demographer and sociologist at Saint Louis University, and it’s his job to help predict how places will look in the future, based on people. Our conversation digs deep into the current state of Missouri's people and places, and puts Missouri into context with other similar states in our nation.
