Sociology Professors Research Poverty

Two Texas A&M University sociology professors, Dudley Poston and Rogelio Saenz, and two sociology professors from Louisiana State University make up a research team using a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant to study the dynamics of poverty along the Texas border and the lower Mississippi delta.

The researchers feel that this USDA research study is particularly timely because the two regions are not only dealing with persistent poverty, but are also working to rebuild in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
