Community Events of Interest
Askwith Forum: The Future of Child and Family Policy
Thursday, April 10th, 5:30 - 7:00 pm
Longfellow Hall, Harvard Graduate School of Education
13 Appian Way, Cambridge, MA
Introduction by:
James E. Ryan, dean and professor, HGSE
Participants include:
Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president, Children's Defense Fund Kathleen McCartney, president, Smith College
The Children's Defense Fund has long
espoused the philosophy that "children do not come in pieces" rather
children need comprehensive, integrated supports and services from birth
through adulthood. How does America achieve such given the existing
fragmented education and health and human services systems? This forum,
culminating a half-day symposium on the topic, reflects on
forward-looking pieces in the book, Improving the Odds for America's Children: Future Directions and Policy and Practice, which diagnose current obstacles to progress and suggest key ideas for the next 40 years of child and family policy.
Reception and book signing following forum.
Free and open to the public. Click here for more information.

dedicated his life to using the law as a tool to reverse the unjust
consequences of racial discrimination. CHHIRJ is committed to
marshalling the resources of Harvard and beyond to continue his
unfinished work.
