- Education
"One transition I’m really interested in is the transition from incarceration to entry back into society. The criminal legal system has an enormous impact on peoples’ lives but it’s one that financial institutions don’t seem to think much about."
We have a special discussion for our listeners today as we hand over the reigns to our Filene Fellow for the Center of Excellence for Consumer Financial Lives in Transition, Lisa Servon. Lisa is joined by one of her co-researchers Jamila Harris who is an author and criminal justice advocate for women, to talk about a project they have worked on for the past few years, how they got interested in this work, and the implications this research has for credit unions and communities they serve.
