Course Description:
This senior seminar will focus on the historical development and contemporary impact of racial segregation in the United States. We will consider the myriad ways segregation policies and laws were created and their bearing on present-day issues in American cities and suburbs. We will consider how the government both built and reinforced segregation and inequities in American society and potential policy solutions to these problems. We will focus on the critical questions of education and housing policies and politics, as well as exploring other inter-linked contemporary issues including topics like equality, gentrification, voting rights, criminal justice, food policy, and immigration. |
