Description
The USC Schaeffer Center welcomes David Leonhardt to USC to share his insights on U.S. policy, as well as the future of journalism. His new venture, The Upshot, will cover politics and policy, using conversational language, data and graphics in a way that aims to "appeal to the many people out there who wish they understood the world a bit better." Leonhardt is a Pulitzer Prize winner and was previously the New York Times' Washington bureau chief. As an economics columnist, he focused on the housing bubble, the economic downturn, the budget deficit, health reform and education. The mission of the Leonard D. Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics at the University of Southern California is to measurably improve value in health through evidence based policy solutions, research excellence, transformative education, and private and public sector engagement. The Center is a unique collaboration between the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy and the USC School of Pharmacy.
