Podcast: Targeted Universalism
In this episode, we hear from John A. Powell, who is our director, and a professor of law and African American Studies here at UC Berkeley.
In the interview we discuss a brand new primer we’ve just published on the targeted universalism policy approach, a model conceptualized by professor Powell. The primer was co-written by professor Powell along with assistant director Stephen Menendian, and Wendy Ake, who is the director of the Just Public Finance program. To summarize, targeted universalism is a platform to put into practice social programs that move all groups toward a universal policy goal. It supports the needs of the most marginalized groups, as well as those who are more politically powerful, while reminding everyone that we are all part of the same social fabric.
