Practice and Policy Lecture Series

This lecture affords participants the opportunity to learn more about the perspectives on poverty. Research has revealed that both culture and structure keep people on the bottom rungs of the ladder. Dr. Haskins will discuss indicators of poverty and policy recommendations founded on four values-based premises about the appropriate role of government.

Ron Haskins, PhD.

Research shows that quality early childhood education can make a significant contribution to reducing the achievement gap between children in poor and non-poor families, and thus in the long run can help to reduce poverty and inequality. Join Dr. Ron Haskins as he addresses the societal and economic impacts of quality early childhood education.
