Max Rose

Rose works for MDC, a nonprofit organization that publishes research and develops programs that help people and their communities overcome the barriers to educational and economic opportunity. He contributes writing, data analysis, and project management to teams at MDC that work with foundations to examine how they can refocus their activities and deploy themselves to address the issues of fairness and opportunity in their communities, and that help organize Durham education, business and community leaders to increase the number of Durham young people receiving postsecondary credentials and living wage work. His academic writing focuses on how the media framing of United States poverty changes public policy. Rose is also on the Allocations Committee of Durham’s Partnership for Children and the Learning Environment Committee of Student U, two organizations serving children and families in Durham.
