Proposal Title
Families and Poverty: Integrating Research into Teaching, Learning, and Practice
Abstract
Currently, 47 million US individuals live below the official federal poverty line. Critical research into the disproportionate incidence and impact on marginalized groups is necessary to better understand the impact of poverty in the US. Using an intersectional approach, doctoral students will present research on the impact of poverty on children; US welfare policy that addresses family poverty; and practices to support low-income single college students who are full–time workers and mothers.
