Racial Foundations of Public Policy is a fall speaker series and course that focuses on the historical roots and impact of race in shaping public policy as both a disciplinary field and as a course of action. The series brings in renowned scholar-experts from across the country and is open to all members of the University of Michigan community and the wider public.
In the fall of 2023, we welcomed author and associate professor of sociology at the University of Maryland Dr. Kris Marsh, acclaimed poet, educator, Ford School Alumna, Airea D. Matthews (MPP '07), and professor of sociology and senior vice president for equity at Rutgers University, Dr. Enobong (Anna) Branch.
