How Structural Racism Works

Tricia Rose '93 PhD, Director of CSREA and Chancellor's Professor of Africana Studies
Samuel Rosen '14, Senior Researcher, How Structural Racism Works Project
This presentation shares ideas from Professor Rose's on-going research project, which aims to make accessible to the public what structural racism is and how it works in society. The project examines the connections between policies and practices in housing, education and other key spheres of society to reveal the intersectional and compounding effects of systemic discrimination as a significant force in American society today. In addition to sharing the outline of the project, Rose and Rosen will give examples of how it works in everyday life.
