Poulson, Professor of Sociology at James Madison University, discusses his new book Racism on Campus: A Visual History of Prominent Virginia Colleges and Howard University (New York: Routledge Press, 2021).

It also reveals the role that institutions of higher education play in ordering race relations and perpetuating racism not only on campus, but into wider society.
