Last week Bill Bowen discussed the fact that the topic of K-12 education in low-income urban areas is almost never addressed by researchers who identify themselves as urban studies scholars.  Even though the field of urban studies is broadly conceived and interdisciplinary, when he and several colleagues conducted in-depth interviews several years ago with leading urban researchers and examined the content of the most frequently used urban studies textbooks, they found little overlap with the topic of urban education.
