Regine O. Jackson (Kathy Ashe '68 and Lawrence Ashe Associate Professor of Sociology, Chair of Sociology and Anthropology, Agnes Scott College) teaches and researches on American immigration, the Haitian diaspora, Caribbean and African immigrants in the US, and place/urban studies.
Her lecture "Black Space(s): Race, Place and Change from Boston to Atlanta" focuses on the characteristics of black America in reference to migration, urbanization, white flight, urban renewal, and gentrification. She examines black communities and neighborhoods in Boston and Atlanta to show how these two different urban spaces also have similarities when talking about shared experiences of oppression and inequality and the remaking of urban America.
Cosponsored by the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity.
