The RPN has compiled a “relational poverty reading” of sessions at the 2019 AAG meeting that speak to themes around poverty, inequality, and social justice. The work of the RPN is to convene and connect, bringing people together across disciplines, places, and issues significant to relational poverty studies. The following list is our reading (which is surely not comprehensive) of sessions on relational poverty topics. We hope this offers you pathways to navigate the AAG Meeting and continue conversations throughout the conference. Please join us for the RPN happy hour on Thursday, April 4th from 5:00pm-7:30pm at Duke’s Counter (3000 Connecticut Ave NW)!
