On April 2, Brenda Bushouse will discuss her recent research in a talk titled “Universal Pre-K in Tough Budgetary Times: Variations in State Responses.”
Bushouse, an associate professor of political science and public policy, conducts research on the role of nonprofits in the U.S. and is an expert on the national universal preschool movement. Her recently published book, Universal Preschool: Policy Change, Stability and the Pew Charitable Trusts, examines the rise of state-funded preschool education and the role of private foundations in policy change. The book received the 2011 Virginia Hodgkinson Research Prize, a national award for the best book on the nonprofit sector that informs policy and practice.
This and all lectures in the Spring 2012 CPPA Faculty Colloquium series will be in Thompson 620, from noon to 1 p.m. The talks are free, and brown bag lunches are welcome.
