The Civilians and School Choice

Nationally renowned educational policy experts Helen "Sunny" Ladd and Tom Nechyba (both of Duke's Sanford School of Public Policy and Department of Economics) discuss the school choice debate in North Carolina and the trend toward privatization in the U.S. public education system more broadly. The event coincides with the residency of NY-based investigative theater company The Civilians, who return to Duke to continue developing their new play on the charter school movement in North Carolina. Moderated by Obie-winning playwright Ethan Lipton.

A light lunch will be provided.
