Initial Projects

Communicating About Inequality

The Shared Prosperity team has convened a group of scholars, activists and policy advocates concerned about how to effectively communicate about inequality and the economic crisis. With support from the Progressive Ideas Network, we've enlisted cognitive researchers to interview over 20 effective communicators to research how people in the U.S. think about inequality -- and how to more effectively communicate with the wider public. Initial research and lessons will be shared in May 2010 at briefing sessions.
