Professor Darrick Hamilton interviewed on NPR Marketplace

Darrick_HamiltonIn an interview on December 14, Associate Professor of Economics and Urban Policy Darrick Hamilton discussed the growing wealth gap that is widening along racial lines in the United States. Research indicates that a major driver of the divide is the disparity in asset wealth. 

In the Spring 2015 semester, Professor Hamilton will co-teach a new class, Public Policy in Action: Advancing Social Equity in America, with Dean Michelle DePass.  The course will examine how public policy can serve as a vehicle to reverse the trend towards inequality and advance economic and social inclusion in the context of evolving demographic, economic, and political shifts in America.
