Living in the Master’s House: Displacement, Exposure, and Confinement in the United States


Listen Later

 This podcast will explore ways that shelter and space have been racialized, commodified, and systemically denied throughout the history of the United States. We will investigate the politics of housing segregation as it is enacted through settler-colonial dispossession, redlining, gentrification, exposure to environmental hazards, and disparate access to necessary resources such as food and water.
