At 4 pm on Thursday, January 28, 2016 in Konover Auditorium, Dodd Center, Stanford Professor and Phi Beta Kappa (PBK) Scholar David Grusky, PhD will make a presentation entitled, “A Blueprint for Ending Poverty…Permanently.” He will argue that we now have enough evidence about the sources and causes of poverty to wage a war against poverty based on science.
David Grusky is a Barbara Kimball Browning Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford, Director of the Center on Poverty and Inequality, and coeditor of Pathways Magazine and of Stanford’s Studies in Social Inequality Book Series. He is a fellow of the AAAS, recipient of the Max Weber Award for Distinguished Scholarship (American Sociological Association), founder of the Cornell University Center for the Study of Inequality, and a former Presidential Young Investigator.
His research examines such questions as whether and why gender, racial, and class-based inequalities are growing stronger and how such differences are best measured.
His recent books include Social Stratification, Occupy the Future, The New Gilded Age, The Great Recession, The Inequality Reader, and The Inequality Puzzle.
