IRP Seminar Series, 2007–2008
Thursdays, 12:15-1:30, 8417 Social Science Building (unless
otherwise noted).
New seminar dates will be added as seminars are confirmed.
In addition to a variety of seminars on poverty research
by IRP affiliates, we will feature two special series:
Who Can and Should Fight Poverty? is the subject of an interdisciplinary
series that brings a distinguished group of scholars from other universities
to the UW-Madison campus.
IRP's annual New Perspectives in Social Policy seminar series seeks to reach
beyond familiar and well-explored fields of poverty research, to challenge
accepted paradigms, and to open paths to new research models and methodologies.
The series was launched in 2006, to mark the Institute's 40th anniversary.
