Race, Public Policy and the City
GOVT 228 SP

In what ways does "race" matter to urban policy? How can we assess the importance of "race" without overlooking other possibly important factors -- such as economic inequalities, fiscal constraints, bureaucratic inefficiencies and flawed understanding of policy issues? This course explores these questions through consideration of theoretical approaches and empirical cases. It aims at enhancing skills in policy analysis and in theorizing "race" as well as developing knowledge of specific urban policy issues.
