Kinsey Alden Dinan

Kinsey Dinan contributes to the Center's research and analysis of state and federal policies that promote the economic security and well-being of low-income children and their families. She manages the Making “Work Supports” Work initiative, which analyzes the current patchwork of federal and state programs that assist low-income working families and explores policy alternatives; the initiative builds on NCCP’s Family Resource Simulator. Kinsey also manages a 50-state database of child and family policies, and she plays a central role in NCCP’s work on children in immigrant families.

Kinsey's other areas of expertise include national immigration policies, trafficking in women, and related international human rights standards, and she has published in these areas. Kinsey came to NCCP from the Women's Rights and Asia divisions of Human Rights Watch, and prior to that position, worked as a researcher in Nepal.

Kinsey holds a Master's degree in International Relations from Yale University and a B.A. in Government and Foreign Affairs from the University of Virginia.
