I’m delighted to be reposting the important lecture of David C. Wilson, Dean of the Goldman School of Public Policy. Dean Wilson’s research on voter identification laws, political rights for felons, sexual harassment, gay marriage, and workplace discrimination could not be more timely and important. His latest book, Racial Resentment in the Political Mind, was recently published by the University of Chicago Press.
