JARED K. CLEMONS

I am a postdoctoral fellow joint with Princeton University's Center for the
Study of Democratic Politics and the Politics Department, where I study the relationship between political economy and antiracism. My dissertation, "The Privatization of Racial Responsibility: A Materialist Analysis of Contemporary Antiracism Under Neoliberal Capitalism," asks, "under what conditions do white liberal Americans' antiracist attitudes predict their antiracist behaviors?" To answer this question, I offer my theoretical framework, the privatization of racial responsibility, to predict when we should expect white liberal Americans to engage in antiracist behaviors as well as which kind(s). Employing a mixed-methods approach that includes survey experimentation, political discourse analysis, and intellectual history, I aim to show how an analysis of white antiracism is incomplete without considering political economy.
