Register for Bancroft Research to Action Workshop on Poverty

October 1, 2015

The role of research (its use and misuse) in shaping public policy and public opinion affects injured workers in very concrete ways. It is a topic addressed in the upcoming Bancroft Institute session which will focus on Workers’ Compensation and Poverty: What Does the Research Show? Hear also from the authors of recent studies how their research was conducted and the real significance of their findings.
