Experts

At the core of Chapin Hall is a staff of researchers who are national and international authorities in their fields. They come from a variety of professional and academic backgrounds, including social work, child welfare, public policy, sociology, psychology, economics, education, and law. Many have experience in government or service organizations, and a number teach at the University of Chicago’s School of Social Service Administration or the Irving B. Harris School of Public Policy Studies.

If you are a reporter and wish to speak to one of our experts, please contact Marc van Bree, public affairs associate, at 773.256.5138 or mvanbree (at) chapinhall.org.
