On Friday, April 12th, the CURL Friday Morning Seminar will feature the panel "Michael Harrington's The Other America: 50 Years Later." Harrington's influential book, published in 1962, shone a light on poverty in America. During the seminar, panelists will use Harrington's book as a jumping off point to assess poverty in America today, as well as relevant social policy. Panelist Nancy Shier also will reflect on her personal work with Michael Harrington and what he likely would think today about poverty in America. Panelists include:
- Ayana Karanja, Associate Professor and Director, Black World Studies, Loyola University Chicago
- Nancy Shier, Vice President, Illinois Policy, Ounce of Prevention Fund
- Christine George, Associate Research Professor, CURL, Loyola University Chicago
