Eric Tischler: Hi, and welcome to The Intersect, I m Eric Tischler. Abt Associates tackles complex challenges around the world, ranging from improving health and education to assessing the impact of environmental changes. For any given problem we bring multiple perspectives to the table. We thought it would be enlightening and maybe even fun to pair colleagues from different disciplines so they can share their ideas and perhaps spark new thinking about how we solve these challenges. Today I m joined by two of those colleagues, Laura Peck and, making his second appearance on The Intersect, Jason Brinkley.
Laura is a nationally renowned policy evaluation methodologist who applies her expertise to program areas that include welfare, housing, education, income security, and employment. She currently serves as secretary of the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management, and is editor of the American Journal of Evaluation s experimental methodology section.
