Race and Wealth Disparity in 21st-Century America

The Warren Center and the Vanderbilt Law School are cosponsoring a research circle entitled “Race and Wealth Disparity in 21st-Century America.” The project is funded by the Ford Foundation and directed by Beverly Moran, professor of law and sociology at Vanderbilt University. Members of the research circle are working to bridge the gap between their separate disciplines by sharing each field’s unique insights and methods with one another and with the general public, through a series of private workshops and public lectures, as well as the development of teaching materials for use in the classroom. Participants in the program include faculty members from five colleges within Vanderbilt University (College of Arts and Science, Law School, School of Medicine, Owen School of Management, and Peabody College), Fisk University, Meharry Medical Center, and Tennessee State University. Also participating in the program is the executive director of the Tennessee Network for Community Economic Development, a not-for-profit organization committed to increasing asset acquisition among the working poor. The lecture series, which began in the fall of 2002, will continue during the 2003/2004 year. Lecture dates and topics will soon be announced.
