Lost boys, invisible men: Policy feedback after marijuana legalization

Dr. Nyron N. Crawford is an Assistant Professor of Political Science and a faculty fellow in the Public Policy Lab (PPL) at Temple University. His research, teaching, and practice engages psychological science to explore law and policy, especially as they relate to the racial dynamics of public problems, policy design, and policy feedback at sub-national levels of government. Crawford’s writing has been published in the Journal of Urban Affairs, Perspectives on Politics, Urban Affairs Review, Public Integrity, Politico Magazine and The Washington Post.

The talks, which are free and open to the public, will also be livestreamed on YouTube. U-M students can participate in the series as a one-credit course - look for it as SWK 503 section 001.

The talks, which are free and open to the public, will be livestreamed on YouTube. U-M students can participate in the series as a one-credit course.
