Keynote Speaker: Matthew Desmond
About the Author
We are thrilled to introduce Matthew Desmond, our distinguished keynote speaker for the 2024 Siemer Summit. With a Pulitzer Prize to his name, Matthew is a prominent figure in the field of social science and advocacy. Here's a brief glimpse into his remarkable background and contributions:
MATTHEW DESMOND— MacArthur “Genius” and Princeton sociologist Matthewfon Desmond is the author of the instant #1 New York Times bestseller Poverty, by America and the 2017 Pulitzer Prize winner Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. Praised as “an extraordinary feat of reporting and ethnography” by The Washington Post, Evicted transformed our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a uniquely American problem. His latest, Poverty, by America, has been praised by the New Yorker as “urgent and accessible” and by Esquire as “another paradigm-shifting inquiry into America’s dark heart.” Drawing on history, research, and original reporting, the book reimagines the debate on poverty, and makes a new and bracing argument about why it persists in America: because the rest of us benefit from it. Desmond is the Maurice P. During Professor of Sociology, and the founder and principal investigator of The Eviction Lab (www.evictionlab.org) at Princeton University. Desmond is a New York Times Magazine contributing writer, and his writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, the New Yorker and The Chicago Tribune. http://www.lyceumagency.com/speakers/matthew-desmond/Eviction Lab: www.evictionlab.org
