Join us for the Georgetown Anti-Poverty Society (GAPS) Conversation with Global Practitioners Series. We will be discussing the work of the World Bank’s Agriculture and Food Global Practice, the response to COVID-19, and potential summer internships (unpaid).

Our wonderful speakers are below with a brief bio:

She holds a Ph.D. in agricultural and applied economics from the University of Missouri.
