Colin Gordon
F. Wendell Miller Professor of History
University of Iowa
at time of fellowship
2022 to 2023
Gordon will work on a book examining racial restrictions on property in the city and county of St. Louis. He will use a mixed methods approach that combines archival work with property records, statistical analysis of race-restrictions in these records, and digital mapping of these restrictions to explore their origins, spread, and impact on racial and spatial inequality.
I'm primarily interested in the historical origins of racial disparities, particularly those that are driven by racial segregation in American cities.
