Our paper on clusters of schools across the UK is out. We find five clusters: multi-racial & super-diverse middle & working-class schools of towns & cities, suburban white middle class schools, established elite schools & (post-)industrial white working class schools. doi.org/10.1002/berj...

New study on elite tax migration. Using IRS data, we show that while tax rates matter, embeddedness matters more. Millionaires don’t flee high-tax states unless their networks are disrupted. Embeddedness > incentives. States can still tax the rich. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Currently on pat leave (2 weeks plus taking 2 weeks annual leave). It is crap and reinforces gendered social reproduction. Taking ten weeks shared parental leave later (lucky) but that's still not great given that it comes out of my partner's leave. We should demand more through our unions.
