The special issue of RSF’s Journal of the Social Sciences: Anti-Poverty Policy Innovations: New Proposals for Addressing Poverty in the United States, will be edited by Lawrence M. Berger and Katherine Magnuson, University of Wisconsin-Madison; we also expect that Maria Cancian will join us as a co-editor when she returns from leave in 2016-2017. Articles should not propose an overarching policy agenda in a particular domain. Rather each article should propose a specific, potentially high-impact, innovative, or particularly promising policy or policy approach and present evidence in support of that approach. Study abstracts are due April 16, 2016.
