Meet the New IRP Affiliate Seminar Series

This seminar series provides an opportunity for poverty researchers who recently joined the ranks of IRP affiliates to introduce themselves and their research interests and to present some of their recent work. There will be time at the end of each seminar for audience questions.

IRP’s ever-growing community of leading poverty researchers affiliated with the Institute currently comprises some 80 scholars at the UW-Madison and more than 50 scholars located at academic and research institutions across the United States. While IRP affiliates represent a broad range of disciplines and research interests, they all share a common desire: to reduce poverty and social inequality.

Thursdays, 12:15-1:30 p.m., 8417 Social Science Building (unless otherwise noted)
