Refusing to Leave Desegregation Behind: From Graduates of Racially Diverse Schools to the Supreme Court

by Amy Stuart Wells, Jacquelyn Duran & Terrenda White
In light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on two racial integration cases from Louisville, Kentucky, and Seattle, Washington, the authors explore the mismatch between the rationale of the Court’s majority in declaring these desegregation plans unconstitutional and the social science research on the long-term effects of such plans on the adults who had desegregated school experiences as children. They conclude that two powerful and intertwined themes found in both new and existing research – that racial discrimination and its legacies still exist in the form of “structural inequality” and the “diversity rationale” for bringing children of different backgrounds together to learn – both support the efforts of the two school districts in these cases.

Epidemiology and Education Research: Dialoguing about Disparities

by William F. Tate IV & Catherine Striley
We will argue in this commentary that epidemiology and education research as fields should engage in greater dialogue about pressing matters involving social disparities. Two questions will frame this commentary. What is epidemiology? How might this field inform our understanding of educational disparities?
