PHENND Action Seminar

March 24, 2015

This seminar, focused on the role of colleges and universities in helping to overcome poverty, is co-chaired by Drs. Ira Harkavy, Caroyln Adams, and Keith Reeves. Currently several subcommittees are being developed to critically examine poverty from a variety of angles, all with “”action”” as the guiding goal. So far, these subcommittees are:

Statements about Higher Education’s Responsibility to “”help overcome”” poverty in local communities

Concepts, mapping and measurement of economic poverty

Concepts, mapping and measurement of schooling and poverty

Concepts, mapping and measurement of family structure and poverty

Concepts, mapping and measurement of ill health and poverty
