Smart from the Start: Closing Early Opportunity Gaps with Strategic Early Learning Investments

The Ford School’s Karl and Martha Kohn Professor of Social Policy, Christina Weiland, will deliver her Kohn lecture reflecting on her work on early childhood interventions and public policies on children’s development, especially on children from families with low incomes.

The professorship is a part of the larger Kohn Collaborative for Social Policy , which advances research and policy solutions, and works with policymakers and stakeholders to promote a more inclusive, just society for all. The collaborative consists of four pillars: Kohn Professors, Kohn Scholars, policy impact and the Kohn Prize.

The Karl and Martha Kohn Professorship of Social Policy is intended to promote social equity through U.S. education policy, with a focus on childhood development.
