Panel focuses on poverty, education and community

A group of individuals from the non-profit, business, education, religious, and government domains will gather for a panel discussion on regional poverty and the intersection of contemporary culture as it relates to education, housing, race, gender, and religion. Issues related to education and schools will be emphasized. The speakers will explore how views about the poor are shaped and how contemporary media messages influence many of our attitudes about poverty.

The panel, titled “An American Indignity: The Intersection of Poverty, Education and Community,” is January 16 from 3-4:30 p.m. in the Grand River Room, KC. This event is being co-sponsored by the College of Education and the Women’s Center. Classes are welcome.
