The Education Paradox: Explaining Educational Racial Inequalities – Jan 23
Posted by Temple University Public Policy Lab on January 14, 2025
Since the civil rights movement of the mid-twentieth century, scholars have sought to explain why educational racial inequalities remain intractable, despite numerous political efforts to address them. In this talk Dr. Jared Clemons will argue that the primary cause of these racial inequalities is what he calls the education paradox: a contradictory situation in which Americans expect the education system to produce both inequality (through credentialing and class stratification) and equality (vis-à-vis antiracist initiatives). Under a low-growth, austere capitalist regime, however, the education system can really only accomplish the former, leaving the racially unequal status quo intact. Couching the education paradox within a broader political-economic framework, he will discuss how racial inequalities might be reduced given these conditions.
