Welcome back! We are thrilled to embark on our second year at the
Center after a very successful inaugural season, thanks in large
part to your continuing support and dedication to poverty
research.
Below we highlight our October seminars, our recent graduate
student retreat, and funding opportunities you’ll want to check
out, including our winter/spring call for GSR funding. We also
put a spotlight on Research Affiliate Erin Hamilton’s work with
doctoral candidate Ethan Evans on Immigrant-Native Disparities in
Children’s Health Care and their resulting Policy Brief, which
was funded by the Center through our graduate fellowship program.
We look forward to a great year of poverty research!
Erin Hamilton received her degree in Sociology from the
University of Texas, Austin in 2009. Her current research
investigates the social and demographic sources of international
migration from Mexico to the United States.

This project, funded through the Center for Poverty Research
Graduate Student Fellowship Program, examines whether differences
in state implementation of the Children’s Health Insurance
Program (CHIP) affects disparities in health care between
children of immigrants and children of natives.
