I am ecstatic to share that I got tenure!!! The job security is great, but honestly the reaction from these two may have been the very best part. Please indulge me in a few musings / ramblings about the gratitude—and other feelings—radiating through me right now….

Had a fantastic visit to Cornell Econ for the labor/public workshop! Incredibly vibrant group. Engaging meetings w/ @danielascur.bsky.social & many others whose #econsky handles I don’t know. And what’s that clever thing people say about Ithaca being Gorges?
