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 o the larger Kohn Collaborative for Social Research, a Ford School hub that will catalyze interdisciplinary research and policy impact to promote social equity and inclusion. The collaborative consists of three pillars: Kohn Professors, Kohn Scholars, and policy impact.

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.
