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.
