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.
