This presentation will focus on the relationship between Chicago's
Renaissance 2010 school policy and neoliberal urbanism, particularly the pivotal role of gentrification in
urban economic development, the erosion of the public in favor of market forces and public-private
partnerships, the global city agenda, and the contested politics of race.

urban development, and the political economy and cultural politics of race in urban education. She
