About this Event
This panel brings together leading scholars from Italy and the United States for a conversation about how international collaboration can strengthen evidence-based initiatives to build assets for children’s futures.
Grounded in recent research, a new book publication, and policy developments, the panel will explore how researchers and practitioners work across borders to share knowledge, compare approaches, and connect research ideas to real-world social policy challenges. Panelists will also discuss why global perspectives matter for understanding social problems and how comparing approaches across countries can lead to better policy and service delivery.
