Policy, Politics and Private Sector Discrimination Since the 1964 Civil Rights Act
As part of its annual faculty colloquium series, the Center for Public Policy and Administration (CPPA) presents Don Tomaskovic-Devey and his talk, "Policy, Politics and Private Sector Discrimination Since the 1964 Civil Rights Act."
Don Tomaskovic-Devey is Professor of Sociology at UMass Amherst and currently chair of the Sociology department. He studies processes of workplace inequality, particularly discrimination and segregation, as well as topics in economic sociology more generally. His long-term agenda is to work with others to move sociological studies of inequality to a more fully relational and organizational stance. He is advancing this agenda through studies of jobs and workplaces, as well as social relationships between jobs within workplaces and the social relationships that link organizations to each other.
