Conference Abstract

IWB: A NEXUS FOR RESEARCH & POLICY

The 2025 Conference on IWB will focus on the lived experiences, challenges, and successes of new populations within and across generations over time in the United States. Presentations will critically examine the intergenerational impacts of how United States policies and programs shape the daily lives and well-being of new populations and their families. By centering the voices and experiences of new populations, this conference seeks to generate empirical work that promotes the humanity of new populations and informs evidence-based policymaking at the local, state, and national level.
