At the UC Davis Center for Poverty and Inequality Research,
we conduct, support, promote and disseminate cutting-edge
academic research related to what we regard as two of the most
pressing and urgent issues facing the United States today:
poverty and inequality.
Our research affiliates work across a broad range of disciplines,
ranging from economics to psychology, from education to
sociology, from law to human ecology, and beyond. These scholars
approach the questions of poverty and inequality from a variety
of angles, seeking new approaches to our core themes: labor
markets, immigration, children and intergenerational
transmission, and the non-traditional safety net.
Promoting the work of these professors is central to our mission.
So, too, is supporting and training the next generation of
poverty and inequality scholars—whether they be undergraduates
just beginning to explore these issues, or PhD candidates
conducting their own ground-breaking research.
