Connie Snyder Mick teaches students about the causes, consequences, and effective responses to poverty through community-engaged courses that connect theory to practice. As editor-in-chief of the Journal of Poverty and Public Policy, she advances evidence-based research that guides public policy to reduce poverty around the world.
“Poverty surrounds us and yet it can remain hidden unless we take the time to understand why it persists in a land of plenty,” Mick said. “Poverty studies builds awareness so that we take informed action to help all people live up to their fullest capabilities.”
