EDUC 237X: Residential Racial Segregation and the Education of African-American Youth (AFRICAAM 165E, ETHICSOC 165E)
This course concerns the ongoing residential racial segregation of metropolitan areas in the U.S., how such segregation is the product of policy, rather than only unintended demographic and economic trends and personal choices, and how this segregation contributes to lower academic achievement, increased crime, public health crisis, and employment inequality for African-Americans. We will consider the enduring effects of explicit federal, state, and local policies that have created systematic residential barriers that support ongoing social, cultural, and economic inequality.
