We believe it is vital to maintain the courage to communicate scholarship, even when it falls out of political favor. Collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners has never been simple, especially when any group feels its role is under threat. Yet, in this Generations Journal, we highlight their interdependence: the people who rely upon public benefits, the practitioners who serve them, and the researchers who help bring their experiences to light. This special issue offers research teams the opportunity to speak directly to practitioners and policymakers on urgent issues shaping the most important social insurance program in our nation.
