Join CSBS and the School of Social Work for the second session of the Spring 2022 Poverty Seminar Series on Friday, Feb. 18 at noon. Stacia West, Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee's College of Social Work and the co-founding Director of the Center for Guaranteed Income Research at the University of Pennsylvania, will present "Guaranteed Income: What do we know and what is left to learn?" Following the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A. We encourage you to submit questions in advance via the registration form.

ABSTRACT
Dr. West's presentation will focus on the design, implementation, and first year findings of the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration. She will also share details about the numerous guaranteed income pilots that have recently launched across the US, including important lessons learned regarding implementation, disbursement mechanisms, and the potential for bringing guaranteed income to scale.
