Chronicle Q&A with Jacob Vigdor

(02/08/12 5:00am)

More than 40 years after the federal government enacted fair-housing legislation and the Great Migration of blacks from the South began to ebb, residential segregation in metropolitan America has been significantly curtailed, according to a recent study by Jacob Vigdor, professor of public policy and economics. Vigdor worked alongside Edward Glaeser, Fred and Eleanor Glimp professor of economics at Harvard University, to conclude that racial segregation in neighborhoods is largely on the decline. The Chronicle’s Ian Zhang sat down with Vigdor earlier this week to discuss the professors’ findings.
