Great analysis by
Going back to school, esp. completing a degree, helps mothers + children.
It is not easy to parent, study, work - all at once. Supports (and flexibility) are essential, child care in particular. 👩🎓👩🍼

New blog post & brief with outcomes for moms & kids when mothers reenroll in school. The upshot? Going back helps, but completing a degree helps a lot more. And we need material & social support for parents, kids, & fams. urban.org/urban-wire/mot #studentparents

The tax system is critical to the US social safety net. I worked with @KevinWerner127, , , Heather Hahn, and Hannah Daly to show when TANF recipients add income, tax credits tend to boost income when transfer benefits drop. 1/4

I was excited to read the White House is explicitly focusing on gender equity & equality, especially w/ an intersectional lens. We take for granted so many structural barriers & it's time to shine a bright light on where access is still not equal to education & society broadly.

The size of disparities by race/ethnicity in college CTE programs is striking. But!!! Instructors, programs, & colleges can take steps to help promote equity, especially online. Huge thanks to for informing the framework. Check out urban.org/policy-centers
