Ian Haney López has been named the 2021-22 William H. Neukom Fellows Research Chair in Diversity and Law by the American Bar Foundation. He will study the connections between electoral rhetoric, racial identity, partisanship, and support for various public policies. The project builds on Haney López’s recent work, including the book Merge Left and the “Race-Class Academy” video series, regarding how best to combat what he calls “dog whistle politics.”
