Listen in for a thoughtful discussion with Dr. Richard Kahlenberg, professorial lecturer at George Washington University's School of Public Policy and Public Administration. Author and editor of 18 books, Dr. Kahlenberg is an authority on housing segregation, teachers’ unions, charter schools, community colleges, and labor organizing. Today we are talking about his book Excluded, which is an examination of how zoning laws are being used to promote opportunity for some and perpetuate disadvantage for others.

We explore the importance of neighborhood equality and the impact of neighborhood segregation. We discuss the benefits of diversity in neighborhoods and the losses associated with neighborhood segregation.
