EP. 177 – Luke Shaefer (The Injustice of Place)

Join host Teneé Frazier as she sits down with Professor Luke Shaefer, an expert on poverty and social welfare policy, for an in-depth look at the complexities of living in poverty in the US. They discuss the realities faced by those surviving on minimal resources, and what legal professionals and global listeners can glean from these powerful narratives.

Professor Shaefer shares observations from his extensive research on the realities of poverty, and shares insights from the books he co-authored, “$2 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America” and “The Injustice of Place”. Whether you're a legal practitioner, policymaker, or simply interested in the intersection of law, social justice, and real-world impact, this episode offers valuable perspectives on the challenges of tackling poverty within a legal framework.

Tune in to hear Teneé and Luke unpack the human stories behind the statistics and consider what justice truly means for those most in need.
