Structural Racism and the Law.

Catalog description

In this year-long reading group, students will consider the relationship between US law and racial inequality today. Students will meet for two-hour sessions eight times during the year. At each session, we will discuss a book that explores how a particular field of law has contributed to racial inequality, including criminal justice, the child welfare system, and housing segregation. Students will also assess the potential for law to play a role in redressing racial inequality.
