Racial Justice
The Buffalo Seminar on Racial Justice provides a forum for
discussion of scholarship on race and inequality, with a particular
interest in people’s interaction with racialized landscapes,
spaces, and institutions. Building on the tradition of sociolegal
studies of "law in action," the group hopes that close
examination of ground-level data will contribute to an understanding
of the complex history and current policy regarding racial segregation
and structural inequality.
