21.034 - Neighborhood Gentrification and Schools: Implications for Equity and Diversity

Fri, April 5, 4:20 to 5:50pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 200 Level, Room 201B

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Much of the gentrification and schools literature currently explores gentrification at the macro-level. This panel extends this conversation by considering how parents and school-level actors negotiate, respond to, or make decisions about gentrification. Using quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the scholars on this panel bring light to the individual-level effects of gentrification. Although research points to gentrification as a mechanism to further segregate the population, it does offer a potential to integrate historically segregated schools. By understanding how various stakeholders make decisions regarding gentrification, the panelists argue that we may be able to mitigate the negative effects of gentrification and use it as a tool for racial and socioeconomic integration.
