Household Scholars
The Center for Financial Security hosts a bi-weekly forum showcasing scholars and their research regarding household finances. The Household Finance Scholars (HFS) Forums are intended to bring together an interdisciplinary group of graduate students, faculty and others at UW Madison interested in sharing ideas and research on topics related to household financial behavior, asset building, financial literacy and capability, and personal finance. The forums provide an opportunity to present work in progress, learn about research and funding opportunities and cultivate interest in household finance on campus. Sessions will begin with approximately 30 minute presentations followed by small group discussion. These times also serve as a platform for problem solving and information exchange.
Interested in joining the group? Email Nicole Truog: ntruog@wisc.edu.
