On April 30, Fred Rose will discuss his recent work in a talk titled “Addressing the Causes of Concentrated Poverty: The Case of Springfield.”
Rose is a lecturer for the Center for Public Policy and Administration and directs its Springfield Initiative, which provides a bridge between university research and resources and city residents who are working to build a stronger community. Currently Rose is working closely with the Center for Popular Economics and the Springfield-based Partners for a Healthier Community on the Wellspring Initiative, a budding economic and community development project in Springfield. Before coming to CPPA, Rose was the staff director and lead organizer at the Pioneer Valley Project in Springfield.
This is the final lecture in the spring 2012 CPPA Faculty Colloquium series and will be in Thompson 620, from noon to 1 p.m. The talk is free, and brown bag lunches are welcome.
