This new course will do a deep dive on the reality of child poverty in the United States, how poverty impacts the development of children, and what policies and interventions can work to finally end child poverty. It will be a unique combination of research, policy to practice, politics, and activism, and will examine the role of racism and racist systems that impact socioeconomics.
The class will be interactive and will include conversations with policy experts, lawmakers, state agency leaders, and families. Students will be assessed based on several short assignments and a final PowerPoint Presentation that will offer potential policy solutions and/or innovations.
