Through donor and volunteer support, the U of M's Mapping Prejudice project exposed housing as a force behind Minneapolis' racial disparities—and led to change.
Kate Derickson reports from the Minneapolis Uprising: "During those long nights, new subjectivities were formed, and the grammar of the social order was suspended, allowing arrangements to be newly sensed, new forms of solidarities to be detected. These tentative arrangements repositioned the police as not on 'our' side."
“Once the protests started and I saw that people both within and outside Minnesota were trying to make sense of what was happening, I thought this nascent list of resources might be useful for others besides me.” Professor Adam Bledsoe is interviewed by CityPages.
“I am grateful to the department and the many faculty who patiently allowed me to pester them during office hours,” says alum Erika Eidson about her UMN experience. She now works in forestry, protecting forests and creating opportunities for current GES undergrads.
