Announcing the Center for Poverty & Inequality Research
Our Center was founded in 2011 as one of three federally
designated Poverty Research Centers. As our Center has grown over
the past nine years, so too has our research agenda, expanding
beyond a strict focus on poverty to include overlapping
dimensions of social and economic inequality. Today, Center
affiliates’ research contributes to our understanding of the
causes and consequences of, and solutions to, economic
disadvantage as it relates to race and ethnicity, geospatial
context, gender, immigrant status, and disability. To more
completely capture the breadth of this research, we are pleased
to announce our new name: The UC Davis Center for Poverty &
Inequality Research.
We invite you to explore our website, participate
in our upcoming events, follow us on
Twitter, and
learn more about our affiliates and their important
research on pressing issues of poverty
and social inequality.
