Making Better Work

In this episode, our host Kristin Wolff talks with Joshua Mallett, Senior Associate at Social Policy Research (what a treat to interview a colleague!) Josh is fairly new to SPR, so it was a special treat for Kristin to engage him in the wide-ranging discussion of how he built a career in public policy through data, stats, and coding just as new collaborative tools and ways of working with data were emerging, and what opportunities he sees for policy and data professionals working on critical social challenges today. Joshua so clearly communicates his intense curiosity and respect for new ways of generating insight – it’s inspiring. He’s experimented with so many tools and platforms it was impossible for us to capture all of them in the shownotes – so we’re providing the ability to connect with him directly instead. Enjoy!
