What Economics Misses About American Racial Inequality: An Interdisciplinary Perspective
Monday, July 13th
4:30 – 5:30 PM ET
Economics has not been immune to the ongoing and long overdue reckoning with American racial injustice. Many students and scholars think the conceptual approaches of economics and empirical practices implicitly marginalize or discount Black and Latinx perspectives. We are organizing this panel of scholars working in econ-adjacent areas to hear their thoughts on what they think economics could learn from other disciplines.
Sandy Darity, Duke University, moderator

- Eduardo Bonilla-Silva (Duke, Sociology).
- Mario Small (Harvard, Sociology)
