William Darity, Cary C. Boshamer Professor of Economics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and research professor of public policy studies, African American studies and economics at Duke University, will visit campus Tuesday, April 17 through Friday, April 20 as a James Marsh Professor-at-Large.

Darity, whose research focuses on inequality due to race, class and ethnicity, will participate in several free, public events during his campus visit.

Darity is the "foremost U.S. economist doing research on racial inequality," said Stephanie Seguino, associate dean of arts and sciences and associate professor of economics. "His work explores difficult, controversial issues, yet his clear thinking and trenchant analysis provide the tools to make progress in the sometimes heated public debates on racial equality."

During his campus visit, Darity will deliver lectures, lead seminars and participate in panel discussions. The schedule of events during his UVM visit follows.
