Designing for Dignity: Strengthening Food Assistance Amid Policy Threats

Kate Bauer is a professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health and director of the newly established Institute for Food, Nutrition, and Health Policy (IFNHP) at U-M. Her research focuses on the social influences on children's eating, with particular attention to supporting effective parenting and healthy home food environments. Understanding the causes and consequences of food insecurity has been a consistent thread throughout her work, given the physical, mental, and emotional strain it places on parents and children.
