Abstract

We introduce this volume, which investigates a range of topics about poverty, including its measurement, policies intended to alleviate it, and the role of the economy in the likelihood of being in poverty. The volume was conceived as a tribute to Rebecca Blank, who was a leader in scholarship and policy translation and served at the highest levels in government and academia. The final section of the volume explores topics of special interest to Blank, including financial aid policy, the evolving roles of women in leadership, the ways in which academics can be more effective in policymaking, and motivations for her work.
