Sean Reardon, Professor of Poverty and Inequality in Education, and Professor of Sociology at Stanford University, will present a special lecture entitled, "Affirmative Action and Educational Inequality: What the Evidence Says," exploring links between higher education and social inequality in light of upcoming Supreme Court decisions on race-conscious admissions. One of the nation’s leading authorities on education policy, Professor Reardon will provide a scholarly framework for understanding affirmative action policy, including empirical trends in educational inequality and their broader effects.
Dean & Executive Vice President of Arts & Sciences Amy Hungerford will offer welcome remarks and Jennifer Lee, Julian Clarence Levi Professor of Social Sciences, will moderate a Q&A following Professor Reardon's lecture.
The event will take place at The Forum (2nd floor foyer) at Columbia's Manhattanville campus at 6:00pm on Wednesday, April 12 and is co-presented by the Department of Sociology and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
