All Means All: Schools Where Everyone is Somebody

Peter Cookson is the director of the Equity Project, principal researcher at the American Institutes for Research (AIR), and is an adjunct professor teaching Sociology at Georgetown University. He is president of Ideas without Borders, an educational consulting firm specializing in twenty-first century education, technology, and human rights.

Real World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions introduces key issues regarding the causes and consequences of poverty through an in-person lecture series featuring experts in policy and practice from across the nation. Our goal is to help build a broad community of learners to engage in these issues together.

This series is free and open to the public, but is also a one-credit course available for U-M students during the Fall 2024 semester. Students can enroll in SWK 503 001 or U-M class 26997 on Canvas.
