About the chapter
Bringing together scholars from the many universities and public policy institutions in the New York City metropolitan area, New York City SSN addresses a variety of public policy issues, particularly in the areas of work and family, economic inequality, and labor rights. Members contribute meaningful research to better align the work-family and reproductive rights constituencies, and organize around the money in politics debate.
