School of Public Policy 697RP - ST-PubPol,Racism, & Patriarchy

This course will offer a set of empirical and theoretical tools to grapple with how public policy has been used as an engine of inequality. We will discuss the origins of the field and various policy areas including urban policy, environmental policy, labor, criminal justice, infrastructure, and immigration (to name a few). We will also cast a critical lens on our methods as well. The goal is for students to become proficient in a broad swath of decolonial, intersectional, and critical policy studies with an emphasis on white supremacy and patriarchy.
