Policy Practicum: San Francisco Human Rights Commission Reparations Project

Past Offerings

Policy Practicum: San Francisco Human Rights Commission Reparations Project (808O): Client: San Francisco Human Rights Commission Reparations Committee (SFHRCRC), https://sf-hrc.org/. The HRCRC has been tasked by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to propose policies to repair enduring historical harms to San Francisco's Black community. HRCRC invited the Stanford Law Gould Center for Conflict Resolution to develop a Policy Lab practicum to assist with a Report on the History of Black Disenfranchisement in San Francisco (Report). The Report drafted by the Spring 2022 Policy Lab studied the key housing policies and laws that resulted in relevant racial disparities in housing, education, health, and intergenerational wealth. The Lab will continue in the Autumn 2022 term to complete the Report and expand the scope of research through design of a Community-Led Oral History to Capture Perspectives from Past to Present. The oral history will capture the lived experiences of San Francisco's Black community. This goes beyond what may already be in the historical literature and extends to oral narratives from those who lived through important chapters in San Francisco's history. Their perspective is especially important in connecting the past with the recent present harms and providing a roadmap to achieving the HRCRC's goal of systemic change (not just policy change). The project invites applications (both graduate and undergraduate) from the Law School, the Stanford Center for Racial Justice, CCSRE, Sociology, Human Rights, the Documentary Program in the Department of Art, the dSchool, and SPARQ. After the term begins, students accepted into the course can transfer, with consent of the instructor, from section 01 (MP/R/F) into section 02 (H/P/R/F), which meets the R requirement. Elements used in grading: Attendance, Performance, Class Participation, Written Assignments. CONSENT APPLICATION: To apply for this course, students must complete and submit a Consent Application Form available at https://law.stanford.edu/education/courses/consent-of-instructor-forms/. See Consent Application Form for instructions and submission deadline..
