Chloe Rosenstock received an Honorable Mention for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) competition this year.
In her study,”‘Perceiving the Poor:’ Elite Parental Beliefs and Their Decision-Making Process,” she asks two main questions: 1) how do elite parents make sense of poverty, and 2) how do they make decisions for their families based on these beliefs? She plans to do an ethnographic and interview-based study of elite parents in Los Angeles to uncover how their perceptions of poverty seep into their everyday lives and inform their choices.
