Haynes Boone is launching a series of Diversity Awareness and Inclusion Conversations beginning with Black History Month. We invite you to join us for the first session, Recognizing and Responding to Racial Inequality: A Brief Overview of the Social Scientific Research, featuring Matthew Clair, Assistant Professor at Stanford University and moderated by CJ Donald, an Associate in our Dallas office.
The conversation will focus on the myriad social and political developments over the last decade that have reminded many Americans of the problems of racial injustice. Professor Clair will draw from examples in law, medicine, education and housing to show how social scientists define and measure racial inequality, its changes over time and institutional responses to it.
Dr. Clair is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and (by courtesy) the Law School at Stanford University. His scholarship broadly examines how cultural meanings and interactions reflect, reproduce and challenge various dimensions of social inequality, legal violence and injustice.
His recent book Privilege and Punishment: How Race and Class Matter in Criminal Court earned recognition from numerous organizations, including the American Sociological Association, Society for the Study of Social Problems, Evident Change, and the Independent Publisher Book Awards.
The Diversity Awareness and Inclusion Conversations are open to all. The discussions will also be recorded and placed on the Portal for those who are unable to attend the live events.
