ENDING POVERTY

ENDING POVERTY

Poverty is about more than lacking the resources to meet basic needs, such as food, clothing and shelter. We recognize the interrelatedness of race, gender and poverty. Therefore, NYU McSilver is dedicated to dismantling structural racism and other forms of systemic oppression through our work.

How We Help

The McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research at New York University is committed to creating new knowledge about the root causes of poverty, developing evidence-based interventions to address its consequences, and rapidly translating research findings into action through policy and best practices.

Events

Our event programming extends the conversations started by our work to challenge harmful narratives, advance new thinking and inspire positive change.

How do we #prevent suicide or better screen for suicidal ideation among black youth? In his response, @DrMikeLindsey perfectly set the stage for another perfect (and one of my top 5) Lutzker-ism: there is no panacea. #LutzkerLecture @PHGSU @NYUMcSilver

A sobering presentation about suicide among black youth in the U.S. by @DrMikeLindsey. I cannot think of a more fitting Lutzker-ism (if you will) to take away from this talk: "we cannot become complacent."
