The Institute for Research on Race & Public Policy
at the University of Illinois, Chicago
is pleased to announce its JANUARY 2014 SCHOLAR SPOTLIGHT featuring:

Pauline Lipman
Professor, Educational Policy Studies
University of Illinois at Chicago


Lipman’s work focuses on race and class inequality in education,
globalization, and the political economy of urban education. Her most
recent book, "The New Political Economy of Urban Education: Neoliberalism,
Race, & the Right to the City," argues education is integral to neoliberal
economic and urban restructuring as well as class and race inequalities.
As a 2012-2013 IRRPP Policy and Social Engagement Fellow, Lipman has
partnered with the Kenwood Oakland Community Organization (KOCO) to
explore how local communities are affected by Chicago Public Schools
policies. To learn more about Lipman's project with KOCO, read the entire
