Workshop on Social Policy and Inequality with Bruce Western

Description

Bruce Western, a professor of Sociology and Social Justice and co-director of the Justice Lab at Columbia University, will lead a Johns Hopkins Workshop on Inequality and Social Policy for the 21st Century Cities Initiative. Western's research has examined the causes, scope, and consequences of the historic growth in U.S. prison populations.

In advance of the workshop, registrants will receive an article that serves as a chapter in Western's recent book, Homeward: Life in the Year After Prison. Vesla Weaver, a professor of Political Science and Sociology, and Stuart Schrader, a lecturer and assistant research scientist of Sociology, both from Johns Hopkins, will serve as discussants.

There will be light refreshments.
