Segregating the City: How Schools and Race Shaped Metropolitan America

Description

The Johns Hopkins School of Education series Schoolhouse Talk! welcomes Walter Stern, assistant professor of educational policy studies and history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This talk examines how segregated schools created the racially and socioeconomically segregated neighborhoods that mark the modern American metropolis. Focusing on post–World War I New Orleans, Stern will provide street-level views of the grassroots and policy battles that refashioned the city's racial geography.
