I'm trying this site again. Former rural and low income student and teacher -> educational psychologist studying inequity in K-12 & higher Ed, typically around race, ethnicity, class, gender, disability. Cat / human mom, lover of food and books (mostly thriller, mystery, and "literary" fiction) 👋

America is not pro-life and I've never known this more than through my experiences as a parent. If they wanted more babies, they would do the obvious like address maternal mortality, parental leave, child hunger, etc. 1/x

The thing I want people to know is how much time a chronic illness takes from us. I don't just mean the time we spend in bed, either. It's a thousand tiny cuts that consume days and weeks. A 🧵for anyone who wants to learn

One of the most striking charts from our paper imo is this one: The vast majority of Economics PhDs at top-ranked programs have a parent with a *graduate* degree - particularly among the American students. That is, we are drawing from an extremely narrow socioeconomic pool.

Now that it's job market season again Could hiring committees PLEASE recognize how It reinforces inequality to require grad students to pay for their market travel upfront? Unless they have rich parents they are ILLIQUID and this is SUPER STRESSFUL

It's weird leaving Twitter. I was there over 13 years, following accounts through multiple stages of my life and barely trimming. Immensely grateful to how it supported me mentally and professionally. It feels like grieving my first car that no longer feels safe to drive on the road.
