Behavioral Public Policy in a Global Context
The academic field of behavioral science has developed rapidly in recent decades.

Stable Condition
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), the sweeping health care reform enacted by the Obama Administration in 2010, continues to be a contentious policy at the center of highly polarized political debates.

They operated under the assumption that the public’s personal experiences toward the law would make them more favorable.

Breakaway Learners
This powerful book explores how institutions of higher education can successfully serve breakaway studentsfirst-generation, low-income students who are trying to break away from the past in order to create a more secure future. The gap between low-SES and high-SES students persists as efforts to close it have not met with great success. In this provocative book, Gross offers a new approach to addressing inequities by focusing on students who have succeeded despite struggling with the impacts of poverty and trauma.
