The U.S. may be in for a significant wave of evictions in a year or so, the unintended consequence of work to trim Medicaid rolls expanded during the Covid-19 public health emergency, according to new research from Ashley C. Bradford in Georgia Tech’s School of Public Policy.

The 2024 edition of the Atlanta Workshop on Public Policy and Child Well-Being brought scholars from around the country to discuss family planning policy, substance abuse and child well-being, fertility and birth outcomes, childhood effects of exposure to violence, child maltreatment and the child welfare system, child health, and parental employment policies. University of Maryland Economist Melissa Kearney, whose upcoming book examines marriage in the context of economic issues and child welfare, gave the keynote address. Public Policy's Lindsey Rose Bullinger co-organized the event with Daniel Dench from the Georgia Tech School of Economics.

Ph.D. student Ximena Pizarro-Bore is writing her dissertation on federal workers' telework experiences during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. “It is the organizational perspective that makes this question interesting, following the question, 'What can we learn about knowledge management, cooperation, collaboration, and work-life balance supportive cultures? What protocols or norms need to change for future telework design?'" Pizarro-Bore said. She recently won a travel grant at Georgia Tech's Career, Research, Innovation, and Development Conference (CRIDC) poster competition.

School of Public Policy alum Leisha DeHart-Davis credits her Georgia Tech master’s and Ph.D. in Public Policy for laying the foundation for her academic research. “The rigor of both degrees, particularly around critical thinking, statistical analyses, and philosophy, allowed me to jump into academic research with both feet,” says DeHart-Davis, who is a professor of public administration and government at the University of North Carolina — Chapel Hill. “I am indebted to my public policy professors, who held us all to high standards and taught me a love of scholarly research.” DeHart-Davis was recently named winner of the Herbert Simon Award presented by the Midwest Caucus on Policy Administration.
