Schubert Center Conversation Series

The Schubert Center Conversation Series connected CWRU faculty, students and staff, visiting researchers, practice and policy experts, and community members whose work impacts children, young people and families.  The goal of the Schubert Center Conversations was to link research, practice, and policy on pressing issues affecting children.

Research and Policy Briefs were often released in conjunction with the Conversation talks.  These brief summaries are still available on our website and provide a snapshot of data on current child-related issues and research and the implications for local, state and national policy and practice.
