“Doing Right by Kids” Book Event Tomorrow

One of my colleagues Josh Crawford, contributed to a book titled “Doing Right by Kids: Leveraging Social Capital and Innovation to Increase Opportunity.“

The book will be released next week, but tomorrow the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) will host what they’re calling a book event.

AEI describes the event:

Material hardship among American children has never been lower. Yet children born to the most disadvantaged parents today are just as likely as they were in the past to become the most disadvantaged adults when they grow up.

In a new edited volume, Doing Right Kids: Leveraging Social Capital and Innovation to Increase Opportunity, leading scholars diagnose problems of unequal opportunity and describe how conservative policy can promote the American Dream by strengthening the relationships of children and adolescents and the institutions they are connected to.

Please join us for a conversation with the volume’s authors and outside experts as they discuss place-based policies and safe communities, family policy and the safety net, and education.

Register to watch tomorrow’s live stream.
