LPPS 5340 - Race and Policy

This seminar will focus on the challenge that instances of racial injustice pose to political leaders designing policy. Race has offered a set of demonstrable injustices in American history through the present. The list of topics is inexhaustible, and the following list is necessarily limited and imperfect, but instances include slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow laws, segregation, class discrimination, and current criminal justice policies.
