In light of recent Trump administration policies that have, and will continue to negatively affect international students, it’s worth revisiting what we know their role in U.S. higher education. I review the evidence in the @LiveHandbook: livehandbook.org/higher-educa...

Census projects on gender identity/"DEI" topics are being paused... It's absurd (repressive) to halt ALREADY IN PROGRESS academic research on topics you dislike. The data we share with Census is OUR data. We deserve to learn as much as we can (as responsibly as we can) from it.

Anyone else have login fatigue for referee requests. Someone explain web of science and orcid, neither of which ever work for me when trying to login to submit a report. There's gotta be a better way.....

The correct answer is always R2. And then after that, committee meetings to restructure a program that was just restructured last year by a different committee.

ASSA 2025 swag. Displeased with my efforts, need to arrive earlier.

I spotted a Jaguar today on my ride into SF. These self-driving cars are really "sus".....as my 6 year old would say.

When society collapses we will ask how? and why? The signs were there all along.

This time 10 years ago, my PhD cohort was sending out the last batch of applications, refining job talks, and nervously awaiting interview requests at the AEAs. Good luck to all the job candidates out there! The #econsky 's the limit.

I've been quite generous to many journalists with my time. Recently, I've reached out to some of those journalists....complete and utter silence.
