The Social Science and Policy Forum (SSPF) at the University of Pennsylvania is holding a one-day conference on September 19, 2014, to discuss "The War on Poverty at 50: Its History and Legacy." The meeting will commence with a roundtable discussion of Michael Katz's The Undeserving Poor: America's Enduring Confrontation with Poverty (1990), which was reissued in a second, updated edition last year. The full program is available now on the SSPF website. Please check there for additional information about the schedule and location.
The conference kicks off the SSPF's theme for 2014-2015, "Poverty and Opportunity."
