Terri Friedline is an associate professor of social work at the University of Michigan. She will discuss her book, “Banking on a Revolution: Why Financial Technology Won’t Save a Broken System,” which takes a critical look at advancements in financial technology (“fintech”) in the banking and financial industries and makes the case for a more inclusive financial system. The virtual conversation is free and open to the public, and U-M students can participate as part of a one-credit course, SWK 503 Section 001.

This event is part of the annual Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions fall speaker series, which introduces key issues regarding the causes and consequences of poverty featuring experts in policy and practice from across the nation, with the goal of encouraging the formation of a broad community of learners to engage in these issues together.
