GOVT 150W: Race and Inequality in American Politics
Christopher Howard, Professor of Government
In this seminar, we will examine ways of addressing racial inequality in the United States through educational and welfare policies. One of our main goals is to identify policies that work well in a technical sense and are capable of generating political support. Thus, we will also analyze public opinion, interest groups, and political parties. In 2003–04, Sharpe students enrolled in this class worked with the minority achievement office of the local school system, and we expect to continue this work in 2004–05. Specific projects may include weekly tutoring sessions with middle and high school students who have been identified as high potential but underachieving.
