In honor of the Fourth of July, we are proud to present this panel, originally recorded at the "Disrupting Poverty" conference hosted by EMPath in March 2024.

Dr. Kathryn Edin, Dr. H. Luke Shaefer and Timothy Jon Nelson discuss the persistence of poverty in America, particularly in Appalachia, and the historical and ongoing mechanisms that perpetuate inequality.
