How did the safety net get its start? How has the past shaped the system that we have today? What would society look like if we modernized the safety net? These are the questions we explore with American Compassion.
The LBJ School is teaming up with Findhelp to host live recordings of the newest episodes of American Compassion. Throughout the academic year, we’ll be inviting policymakers, experts and leaders in social care to participate in panel discussions about the future of the safety net. These events are free and open to the public – join us at the next one!
Lunch will be available for registered guests.
