Area of Expertise:
Most of Dr. Cushing's recent work has focused on issues related to
population migration and poverty. This includes analysis of Appalachian
poverty, consideration of appropriate methods to measure the true extent
of poverty, the effects of poverty, and of public policy - especially
social welfare programs - on migration decisions of low-income households,
and the role of race relations in population migration.
