NJ Poverty Reality is designed to be an ongoing analysis of the true magnitude of poverty in New Jersey. All of my conclusions from my continuous research are published on this page as they occur. It’s main purpose serves to be an online reference point for myself, as well as a way for my peers and mentors to offer feedback. This page has also been created in hopes of shedding light on the issue to those who normally reject the true reality that exists in the Garden State.
We are very happy to announce that our affiliated scholar and colleague Lori Minnite has been reappointed Associate Professor with tenure.
Congrats, Lori!!!!!
