Seminar Series on Poverty and Public Policy
Winter 2019
WCPC’s quarterly Seminar Series on Poverty and Public Policy brings nationally prominent poverty researchers to the university to present and discuss their findings with faculty and students. The seminars are open to the public and attract a range of faculty and students from disciplines across campus, as well as local service providers and engaged community members. This winter, we are excited to feature scholars on a wide range of topics, with a particular focus on technology and poverty. See below for Winter 2019 dates/topics:
