OverviewAI-generated summary
Tara V. DeJohn's research investigates the intersection of social welfare systems, public assistance, and the experiences of vulnerable populations. Her work has examined the role of free tax assistance programs in supporting low-income families and social workers, particularly concerning the Earned Income Tax Credit. DeJohn has also explored the complexities of kinship caregiving, analyzing caregivers' interactions with child welfare and public welfare systems through a critical theory lens. Her recent publications address systemic harm and healthcare avoidance among individuals experiencing homelessness, as well as strategies for eliminating racial disparities in the criminal justice system. DeJohn's scholarship includes a meta-synthesis of lived experiences related to healthcare avoidance.
