Peter A. Rosenblatt
Associate Professor
Department:  Sociology
His research focuses on housing policy, urban inequality, and education. He uses mixed methods to understand the way individuals respond to constraints and opportunities in the housing market, and the way housing markets themselves shape and are shaped by housing policies. His research attempts to take into account the uniqueness of local context, and the history of a city in understanding how housing policies unfold and influence urban inequality. Dr. Rosenblatt conducts policy-relevant research that attempts to further our understanding of how low-income and minority families respond to housing policies. While we know a lot about how patterns of mobility perpetuate segregation and inequality we do not know much about the motivating factors, decision-making processes, and experiences behind these patterns. Dr. Rosenblatt¿s recent research addresses this gap. He studies the Housing Choice Voucher (formerly Section-8) program, HOPE VI, and assisted mobility programs including Moving To Opportunity (MTO) and the Baltimore Thompson mobility program.
