Abstract
What is the role of families and schools in the creation of educational inequalities? Are schools a “great equalizer” (Mann, 1848), providing opportunities for children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families? Or, conversely, do schools amplify not opportunity but inequality, because children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families attend disadvantaged schools in terms of facilities, teachers, and peers, while children from better-off families attend high-quality schools?

A Large Randomized Field Experiment on the Effects of Close Contact on Interethnic Relations
WZB Talk by Felix Elwert - Online Event
WZB Talk by Felix Elwert - Online Event
Description
Contact and conflict theory famously predict opposite effects of inter-ethnic exposure on anti-minority discrimination. Contact theory predicts that inter-ethnic contact reduces prejudice; whereas conflict theory predicts that inter-ethnic contact leads to more discrimination. The scope conditions for both theories, however, are vague; prior evidence is mostly correlational; and supportive field experiments have largely accrued in rarified settings.
