Learn More > New Book By Robert J. ChaskinGlobal processes such as migration, capital mobility, technology transfer, and the dissemination of information, policy orientations, and social welfare practices affect the quality of life and distribution of opportunities for people in local areas across the globe. The concept of social exclusion has been used to describe the conditions of economic, social, political, and/or cultural marginalization experienced by particular groups of people, and has served as a framework for shaping policy responses to inequality and marginalization. By focusing on social exclusion and responses to it, this edited volume examines the differential impacts global processes have on shaping and responding to social exclusion in varying contexts. Learn More > New Book by Eve EwingThe Chicago Race Riot of 1919, the most intense of the riots that comprised the “Red Summer” of violence across the nation’s cities, is an event that has shaped the last century but is widely unknown. In1919, award-winning poet Eve L. Ewing explores the story of this event—which lasted eight days and resulted in thirty-eight deaths and almost 500 injuries—through poems recounting the stories of everyday people trying to survive and thrive in the city. Ewing uses speculative and Afrofuturist lenses to recast history, and illuminates the thin line between the past and the present. Learn More > 10 Reasons to Attend SSA 1.
