CRISP provides a unique opportunity to discuss issues at the nexus of poverty and social demographics. While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution to addressing disparities, CRISP is dedicated to identifying what can work to reduce them.

Social policy and inclusion

Social policy is complex, involving issues of health, social services, housing, education, criminal justice, and employment, among others. Social inclusion adds even more complexity to reducing social problems and disparities between groups. These disparities require expertise from multiple disciplines to effectively address and identify comprehensive solutions.
