The Truth About Inequality: An Examination of the Gender and Racial Wage Gap

Join us on Wednesday, December 1 @ 6pm EST for a discussion on the sociology of race with Daniel Hirschman, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Brown University. He studies the political power of experts and their tools, and the relationship between organizational practices, knowledge production and racial inequality. His book project, Unequal Knowledge: The Stylized Facts of Inequality, traces the history and politics of the gender wage gap, the racial wealth gap, and top income inequality. He has also published on the politics and practice of affirmative action in undergraduate admissions, and the relationship between financial innovation and financial regulation.
