NU2GEN
The goal of the Northwestern Two-Generation Research Initiative is to promote, scale, and study two-generation or family-centered education investments to advance economic mobility of families.
The core principles are equity first, a family-centered approach, and economic mobility through education and careers.
Policy evaluation expert Teresa Eckrich Sommer and developmental psychologist Lauren Tighe co-lead NU2Gen. Our initiative began over a decade ago with founding director P. Lindsay Chase-Lansdale and has influenced program and policy design across the nation to advance family well-being and prosperity for parents and their young children.
