Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 184 Is Poverty a Choice? What Federal Stats Tell Us About Who's Poor in America
Q: How has the official poverty measure evolved, and why does that matter for policy?
The original measure was based on a food budget from Molly Orshansky, but newer measures like the Supplemental Poverty Measure incorporate transfers and household complexities, giving a fuller view that can better inform safety nets and policy design.
Ep. 184 Is Poverty a Choice? What Federal Stats Tell Us About Who's Poor in America
Q: So, what surprises you about poverty statistics, beyond the headline numbers?
The surprising part is how poverty is distributed: many poor households are working, and child poverty can swing widely over time, while elderly poverty stays relatively flat, suggesting different policy needs across age groups.
Ep. 183 Insights About Climate, Energy and the Future of Public Policy Education
Q: Is there anything else that you want to share with listeners about the role of public policy schools in the future of our country or roles that public policy schools should be playing in public policy development?
Policy schools should emphasize leadership, civics, and the ability to run for office or facilitate policy in legislative environments, while teaching civil discourse and collaboration across partisan divides to strengthen democracy.
Ep. 183 Insights About Climate, Energy and the Future of Public Policy Education
Q: So can we start by you telling us a little bit about your background? Your most recent research has been in the environmental space, is that right?
I started with improving services in low-income countries and later moved into broad environmental policy questions, focusing on how adaptation and low-carbon transitions play out at the local level, including urban environmental services and heat-related policy.
Ep. 181 What Jamaican Sprinters Can Teach Us About Upward Mobility
Q: Are there any downsides to trying to implement an idea like this, and what are potential risks in ladder design?
Downsides include misaligned investments that focus only on the top of the ladder without creating linkages from rural areas to opportunities, and the risk of creating ladders that fail to maintain open access or have nepotism or non-transparent standards, which could undermine effectiveness or be repurposed in restrictive regimes.
