The View From The Ground: Issues and Inquiries Arising From Eight Square Blocks of Chicago's South Side.

This conference will explore issues, themes, and lines of inquiry that have emerged from the eight square blocks that once were the Stateway Gardens public housing development on Chicago's South Side. Its aim is to enrich public discourse about fundamental issues-- race, class, gender, impunity, and institutional denial-- by grounding the conversation in the realities of life in an inner city community during a time of "transformation."

Location: The University of Chicago Law School Courtroom.

Times: April 20, 2007: 3pm-6pm; April 21, 2007: 9am-5pm
