Where families live is still a major determinant of the quality of children’s schools, and this connection between residential location and educational opportunity plays a significant role in the perpetuation of social inequality. This course will examine recent research in housing and education to develop a critical understanding of the role of social inequality, public policy, and individual choices in shaping housing and school opportunities for families. The course will focus on the intersection of residential and educational choices, by examining housing and school interventions across a host of American cities, with a particular focus on how these issues operate in our own city of Baltimore at the end of the semester.
