Episode 14: Black People Should Not Have to Move to Experience Opportunity - Dr. Edward Goetz Bending the Arc
-
- Society & Culture
In this episode we talk with Dr. Ed Goetz, director of the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs and a faculty member at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota. Ed co-authored an essay for the What Works volume with Anthony Damiano and Rashad Williams. Their critique is focused on why promoting economic advancement for low-income African Americans and other people of color often means having to leave their neighborhood and move to a “opportunity neighborhood.” They argue against a dominant focus on resident mobility to address segregation and marginalization and they advocate for a community development focus which would prioritize enabling low-income families of color to thrive in place.
Ed is the author of four books: The One-Way Street of Integration: Fair Housing and the Pursuit of Racial Justice in American Cities, New Deal Ruins: Race, Economic Justice, and Public Housing Policy, Clearing the Way: Deconcentrating the Poor in Urban America, and Shelter Burden: Local Politics and Progressive Housing Policy. Ed has served on the board of directors of nonprofit housing agencies in the Twin Cities, and on several regional commissions related to affordable housing and development. Early in his career, he worked at the Mayor's Office of Housing and Economic Development in San Francisco and for several nonprofit community developers in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Conversations with Ed are always lively and thought-provoking and this one is no exception. I
