The Resilience of Segregation Itself

Today on the Tuesday 8:00 Buzz with Dr. Damita Brown…
Rachel Williams is a PhD Candidate at University of California Berkeley, writing her dissertation bringing new analysis to modern segregation.  She uses qualitative and spatial methods to examine charter growth in relationship to new modes of segregation, such as predatory housing policies and county secession, while drawing linkages to Black politics in a majority Black city in the U.S. South, and joins us to talk about what her research shows!
Rachel is giving a presentation Friday, “Chartering Exploitation: 21st Century Black Schooling and the (Re)making of a Southern City” presented by UW-Madison, noon-1 Central Time: https://today.wisc.edu/events/view/163784
