In this episode, Dwayne Kwaysee Wright, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at Savannah Law School, discusses his work on race-conscious admissions, and in particular his dissertation "An Instrumental Case Study of the Diversity Culture of a Predominantly White Law School." Wright begins by describing the history and politics of race-conscious admissions. He explains the difference between structural and interactional diversity, and why law schools have a legal obligation to pursue interactional diversity. And he describes his qualitative study of the diversity culture of a particular school, identifying what he learned from conducting that study, and how law schools can improve interactional diversity.
