Renowned Harvard economist and public policy expert, Professor Jeffrey B. Liebman, delivered a lecture on “Actionable Policy Research” at Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS). He analyzed privatization’s impact on vulnerable communities, the role of social workers in governance, and policy-making in information-scarce environments. Addressing faculty, students, and scholars, he highlighted urgent policy challenges like poverty, homelessness, and education disparities. His insights contribute to the KIIT School of Public Policy’s mission to nurture future leaders.
