TIE Preview of Upcoming Reads in Poverty Studies, 2024

Banner of books featured on the list of upcoming reads in poverty studies

This month, TIE is excited to present forthcoming titles in poverty studies, a field that considers the social and political consequences of poverty and inequality, as well as potential policy initiatives to address these problems. Cutting across multiple disciplines, this field readily lends itself to anti-racist, trauma-informed social scientific perspectives, which will be highly relevant to anyone concerned with social and racial justice.
