Deadline: 01/04/15
The Institute for Research on Poverty (IRP) at the University of
Wisconsin–Madison is now accepting applications for the 2015
Teaching Poverty 101 Workshop, which is designed to help college
instructors plan college-level courses on the causes,
consequences, and cures of poverty.
The workshop is open to all college faculty and instructors in
any postsecondary institution—university, college, or community
college.
The workshop will be held on the UW–Madison campus from Tuesday,
May 26 through Friday, May 29, 2015. The workshop will begin with
an opening session at 1 p.m. on Tuesday. It will conclude with a
closing lunch on Friday. Invited participants will be expected to
attend the entire program.
Applicants need not have prior experience in poverty studies, but
must be committed to including material from the workshop in
future courses. The Institute for Research on Poverty provides
tuition and fees, hotel stay, continental breakfasts and lunches,
and one group dinner. Participants cover transportation,
additional meals, and other expenses.
