  • Higher Education beyond Job Creation

    Universities, Citizenship, and Community

    by Thomas A. Bryer ...

    Fighting the Wars on Poverty and Impoverished Citizenship

    by Sofia Prysmakova-Rivera, Thomas A. Bryer ...
    Series series Democratic Dilemmas and Policy Responsiveness
    This book argues that active citizenship and poverty are inextricably linked. A common sentiment in discussions of poverty and social policy is that decisions made about those living in poverty or near-poverty are illegitimate, inadvisable, and non-responsive to the needs and interests of the poor if the poor themselves are not involved in the decision-making process. Inside this intuitively ... Read more
