Richard D. Kahlenberg is Director of Housing Policy and Director of the American Identity Project at the Progressive Policy Institute and a professorial lecturer at George Washington University's Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration. He was recently featured in a front-page New York Times profile on his policy work as a "liberal maverick." The author or editor of 19 books, Kahlenberg has been called “arguably the nation’s chief proponent of class-based affirmative action in higher education admissions” and “the intellectual father of the economic integration movement” in K–12 schooling. His articles have been published in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Atlantic; and he has appeared on ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, PBS, and NPR. His books include: Class Matters: The Fight to Get Beyond Race Preferences, Reduce Inequality, and Build Real Diversity at America's Colleges (PublicAffairs Books, 2025); Excluded: How Snob Zoning, NIMBYism, and Class Bias Build the Walls We Don't See (PublicAffairs Books, 2023); Tough Liberal: Albert Shanker and the Battles Over Schools, Unions, Race and Democracy (Columbia University Press, 2007); and The Remedy: Class, Race and Affirmative Action (1996). The Remedy was named one of the best books of the year by the Washington Post, Tough Liberal was named one of the best books written on labor unions by the Wall Street Journal; and Excluded won the Goddard Riverside Book Prize for Social Justice. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School.
