Opportunity Starts At Home

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Lincoln Quillian, a Professor of Sociology and Faculty Fellow at the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University. Dr. Quillian joins us to discuss a recent article published in the journal Race and Social Problems (2020), "Racial Discrimination in the U.S. Housing and Mortgage Lending Markets: A Quantitative Review of Trends, 1976–2016." The conversation explores the importance of housing to equal opportunity, the methodological approach to analyzing housing and mortgage discrimination over time, how different types of discrimination have changed over time, and the implications of these findings for policymakers.
