If anyone has taught a Women in the Economy class before, and pity me, please share resources? Syllabi? Slides? Prayers? Thoughts?

Teaching folks: Any good !!free!! social annotation tools? Just heard Perusall may start charging (potentially mid-semester), even if you upload your own PDFs. Not ideal for my Dev Econ class - I require a lot of reading, incl. journal articles. I am all ears.

New research with @ShreyaBEcon on India's pension inequalities is part of a larger project examining how mandatory retirement ages affect health, income & savings outcomes. As India faces unprecedented demographic change, our findings reveal inequalities in multiple outcomes. 🧵

UNU-WIDER@unu-wider.bsky.social · last yr.

India’s ageing population is growing fast—but pensions aren’t keeping up. In our new conference blog, Shreya Bhattacharya and @shreyaseedas.bsky.social explore how state-by-state pension gaps are deepening inequalities in retirement, work, and wellbeing. 👉 go.unu.edu/lf08Q #WIDERDevConf2025

Back after the 4th Gender and Economics Workshop at the University of Luxembourg. The sessions were well-thought out and each paper flowed/belonged in those sessions. The organizers put so much thought in designing the sessions - model for what a conference should look like.

Heading home after a great conference in Luxembourg! Many thanks to the organizers and the inspiring keynote speakers @marimendola.bsky.social @essobecker.bsky.social Don't miss it next year!

I was reading draft papers & found that authors omitted the method in the abstract or buried their results summary pages into the intro. There are lots of ways to write abstracts/intros, but here are common structures in econ. www.cgdev.org/blog/how-wri... www.cgdev.org/blog/how-wri...

How To Write the Abstract of Your Development Economics Paper

Last year, I claimed that you win or lose readers with the introduction of your economics paper. That might have been generous. A lot of people will read no further than the abstract of your paper to ...

📢 Thrilled to share that my paper with Shatanjaya Dasgupta is now in the Journal of South Asian Development! We study the effects of the Gujarat earthquake on marital matching outcomes. The topic has evolved from a research idea to a passion now. 🎉 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

I cannot emphasize enough what a great environment this is for all faculty, including NTT!
