She also maintains an active program of research, examining the mechanisms that support children's self- regulation in the contexts of poverty and social policy. Raver and her research team currently conduct CSRP, a federally-funded RCT intervention and she regularly advises local and federal government agencies and foundations on promoting school readiness among low-income children. See our new articles in American Psychologist downloadable from the list, below. Raver has received several prestigious awards from organizations such as the American Psychological Association and the William T. Grant Foundation as well as support from the Spencer Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation. Sherry Glied Dean, Professor of Public Service, Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service In 2013, Sherry Glied was named Dean of New York University’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. From 1989-2013, she was Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. She was Chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management from 1998-2009. On June 22, 2010, Glied was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation at the Department of Health and Human Services and served in that capacity from July 2010 through August 2012. She had previously served as Senior Economist for health care and labor market policy on the President’s Council of Economic Advisers in 1992-1993, under Presidents Bush and Clinton, and participated in the Clinton Health Care Task Force. She has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine, the National Academy of Social Insurance, and served as a member of the Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking. Glied’s principal areas of research are in health policy reform and mental health care policy. 6 Faculty Presenters Rachel M. Abenavoli Steinhardt; Institute of Human Development and Social Change Rachel Abenavoli is a Research Assistant Professor of Applied Psychology at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. Her research intersects developmental, education, and prevention sciences and examines the contexts, programs, and practices that drive children’s social-emotional and behavioral development, particularly across the transition to school. An overarching goal of her work is to identify and strengthen approaches with potential for scale and sustained impact. Guided by this aim, Dr. Abenavoli focuses on school systems as powerful levers for change, teachers as central agents and targets of intervention, and research-practice partnerships as a promising way to generate relevant, rigorous, and actionable evidence. For the last four years, Dr. Abenavoli has been engaged in a partnership with the NYC Department of Education Division of Early Childhood Education to use data and research to strengthen implementation of the city’s universal pre-K initiative, Pre-K for All. Dr. Abenavoli was an Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Predoctoral Fellow and holds a Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Studies from Pennsylvania State University. Research Descripition: Since 2014, researchers at NYU Steinhardt and district leaders in the NYC Department of Education’s Division of Early Childhood Education (DECE) have been engaged in a robust research-practice partnership to support and strengthen NYC’s universal pre-K program, Pre-K for All. We are currently launching a mixed- methods study with our district partners to better understand the challenges and stressors facing pre-K program leaders, teachers, and families—as well as the resilience, creativity, and innovation they are demonstrating—in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study also examines how these experiences vary across NYC neighborhoods, programs, and individuals, with implications for supporting program quality and advancing equity across the Pre-K for All system. Our NYU-DECE partnership is well positioned to gather critical information about the challenges facing pre-K programs and families and effective approaches that hold the greatest promise for supporting families during future disasters, as well. 7 Victoria Alsina CUSP, The Govlab Victòria Alsina Burgués is an Industry Assistant Professor and Academic Director at the NYU Center for Urban Science and Progress. She holds a B.A. in Political Science and Public Administration from Universitat Pompeu Fabra; an MPA from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona; an M.A. in Public Leadership from ESADE Business School; and a Ph.D. in Political and Social Sciences from Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Research Description: Alsina’s current research and teaching focus on finding innovative solutions to rethink public institutions, exploring how collaborative governance and public engagement can change the way we govern, solving some of society’s most pressing problems at the intersection of the public and private sectors and helping communities and institutions to work together to solve public problems more effectively and legitimately. 8 Shlomo (Solly) Angel Marron Institute Shlomo (Solly) Angel is a Professor of City Planning and the Director of the Urban Expansion Program at the Marron Institute of Urban Management at New York University. He is the author of Planet of Cities (2012) and Housing Policy Matters (2000), the leading author of the Atlas of Urban Expansion—2016 Edition, and co- author of A Pattern Language (1977). Since 2012, he led teams assisting intermediate cities in Colombia and Ethiopia in preparing for their rapid expansion. Dr. Angel holds an architecture degree and a doctorate in City and Regional Planning from the University of California at Berkeley. Research Description: The findings introduced in this longitudinal study of cumulative Covid-19 cases and deaths are based on reported data for 384 U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) for 20 weeks, starting on 6 March 2020 and ending on 23 July 2020. We look at the variation in the 7-day averages of the cumulative numbers of reported cases and deaths in each city at the end of every week as a function of its total population, its ‘urbanized area,’ and its average population density (the ratio of its population and its urbanized area). We find that during the last 10 weeks, the numbers have tended to converge: (1) a city with double the population of a smaller one can be expected to have 17% more cases per capita and 28% more deaths per capita than the smaller city; (2) a city with double the urbanized area of a smaller one can be expected to have 19% more cases per capita and 38% more deaths per capita than the smaller city; and, finally, (3) a city with double the population density of a smaller one can be expected to have 4.1% fewer cases per capita and 7.4% fewer deaths per capita than the smaller city. Larger cities have more than their share of cases and deaths in part because the larger the city, the larger the number of possible interactions among its inhabitants. And it is this larger number, rather than the overall average proximity of people to each other—expressed by the average density in the city—that accounts for that larger share. In fact, when it pertains to Covid-19 cases and deaths, denser metropolitan areas appear to be better able to contain their numbers than more spread out ones. 9 Kevin Cromar Marron Institute of Urban Management, Grossman School of Medicine Kevin Cromar, Ph.D., is a program director at the Marron Institute of Urban Management and an Associate Professor of Environmental Medicine and Population Health at New York University Grossman School of Medicine.

  • STAGE 1. Thinking About PGT Study?
    STAGE 1. Thinking about PGT study? A clear idea of what you want and/or need from postgraduate study, before you start looking, can help focus your search. Whatever your circumstances, here are some questions you might find it useful to consider. Why do people undertake postgraduate study? In most cases, the answer to this question relates in some way to employment or their career. A postgraduate qualification can: help to enhance job prospects (entry to a career); facilitate a change in career; provide specialist knowledge (enabling progression, including into doctoral research); or help you stand out in the crowded graduate employment market. Others study simply for personal interest, love of the subject or of learning, for self-development and/or to stay in the higher education environment. Would it make me more employable? Having a postgraduate qualification can make some people more employable, but this depends on both the person and the employer for which they want to work. Some employers will place additional value on a postgraduate qualification in addition to a first degree, but not all – the situation varies in different sectors and also from employer to employer. For some specialist roles and employers, it may be a requirement to have a postgraduate qualification. If your first degree grade was not as good as you hoped, it is not automatic that an additional postgraduate qualification would compensate for this, and it would be wise to consult potential employers to see how they would view it. To find out more about how a postgraduate qualification could assist your own career, we recommend getting some professional advice.
