Andrea Elliott and Darcey Merritt in Conversation about Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival & Hope in an American City

Poverty Research & Policy

IRP recently had the privilege of hosting New York Times reporter and author Andrea Elliott and NYU Professor of Social Work Darcey Merritt for a conversation about Elliot’s book Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival & Hope in an American City. They talked about the family in the book, the child welfare system and race, how we think about meeting the needs of children, and how we can do better.
