Reardon, Sean F.; Yun, John T.; Kurlaender, Michal – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 2006
A number of public school districts in the United States have adopted income-based integration policies--policies that use measures of family income or socioeconomic status--in determining school assignment. Some scholars and policymakers contend that such policies will also reduce racial segregation. In this article this assumption is explored by…

Pawley, Christine – Library Quarterly, 2006
Race remains poorly understood and inadequately represented in library and information science (LIS) education. Educators tend to avoid the term "race," preferring the more inclusive "multiculturalism."
