The winners of the American Academy of Political and Social Science‘s 2016 Moynihan Prize – Ron Haskins and Isabel Sawhill, the bipartisan duo who launched The Brookings Center on Children and Families – will discuss evidence-based policy solutions to address family and child well-being and poverty.
Haskins, who served in the second Bush Administration, will discuss initiatives aimed at promoting strong families and expand opportunity, while Sawhill, who served in the Clinton Administration, will address the rise of single parenting.
Haskins will continue the lecture with remarks on evidence-based initiatives, including those in the Obama administration, that promote strong families and expand opportunity.
