Paige Glotzer is assistant professor and John W. and Jeanne M. Rowe Chair in the History of American Politics, Institutions, and Political Economy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Her first book, entitled How the Suburbs Were Segregated: Developers and the Business of Exclusionary Housing,1890-1960 (Columbia University Press), was the winner of the Kenneth Jackson Award for Best Book in North American Urban History and a finalist for the Business History Conference Hagley Prize in 2020. In it, Glotzer charts how suburban developers, including Baltimore’s Roland Park Company, ushered in modern housing segregation with the help of transnational financiers, real estate institutions, and public policymakers.

Part of the Urban History Workshop sponsored by the Feinstein Center for American Jewish History and the History Department.
