One aspect of our mission is to have an open forum for ideas to be exchanged amongst academics, professionals, students, or anyone who is interested in the issues. This dialogue allows for the topics to stay current and for discussions, materials and ideas to develop amongst a global network.
Graduate students, who are enrolled in Professor Alberto Minujin’s course “Child Rights and Poverty in Development,” at the New School – GPIA; provide reviews and analyses on policy and academic papers. We invite you to read and comment them.
