Webinar: Measuring Mobility: Power, Autonomy, and Being Valued in Community

April 26, 2018

Thursday, April 26, 2018, 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. EDT

The US Partnership on Mobility from Poverty’s definition of mobility has three core principles: economic success, power and autonomy, and being valued in community. Many people working on increasing mobility from poverty are familiar with measures of economic success but are often less familiar with high-quality and well-developed measures of power, autonomy, communion, and belonging.

During this webinar, the US Partnership on Mobility from Poverty and Stanford University’s SPARQ (Social Psychological Answers to Real-world Questions) lab will present tools to measure these principles of mobility that go beyond economic success.

Speakers

Hazel Rose Markus, Davis-Brack Professor in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University

Nisha Patel, Executive Director, US Partnership on Mobility from Poverty
