Paige Glotzer: Racial Capitalism, Residential Segregation and Unequal Access to Housing

This colloquium session examines the role of racial capitalism in the creation and maintenance of segregation and unequal access to housing in the United States. Centrally implicated in the ongoing discriminatory practices are the real estate industry and the urban planners and policymakers who presided over the establishment of policies that created and maintained unequal access to housing. We must do better.

Paige Glotzer is an assistant professor and John W. and Jeanne M. Rowe Chair in the History of American Politics, Institutions, and Political Economy in the History Department at the University of Wisconsin Madison. She researches the history of housing segregation in the nineteenth and twentieth century. She brings together discussions of political economy, cultural history, and the spatial construction of difference.
