 dz09\;  Meeting ID: 971 5609 9278\;  Passcode: 324627\n\nSince the 1960s\,
  the study of policy and politics in American cities – and to a consider
 able degree\, in the American national government – has revolved around 
 the role of race or the interaction of race and class. My own work has lar
 gely followed that path. This project\, however\, examines the degree to w
 hich race/class hierarchy should remain the dominant paradigm in research 
 on inequality in the United States. I consider four policies in four large
  American cities in order to see how well race/class intersection explains
  their trajectories.\n\nThe policy arenas are policing (especially “stop
 -question-frisk” in New York City)\, land use development (especially th
 e BeltLine in Atlanta)\, school reform (especially charter schools in Los 
 Angeles)\, and fiscal policy (especially public sector pension funding in 
 Chicago).  I find that race/class interaction matters\, but not uniformly 
 and not straightforwardly. It is integral to\, even determinative of\, imp
 lementation and impact of two of the four cases\, but has an attenuated\, 
 almost submerged\, role in the other two. With regard to school reform\, t
 he politics of geography and institutional boundaries matter most\, and wi
 th regard to pension funding\, the politics of time horizons and generatio
 nal injustice dominate.  We need to develop more systematic analyses of wh
 en and why race/class interactions do\, and do not\, explain important swa
 ths of American politics and policy-making.\nSpeakers:\nJennifer Hoschschi
