- And here is my first lightboard setup!! Note, just 1.5 days ago I learned of the existence of lightboard (and OBS), built my own small test, learned OBS, so my lighting/delivery/backdrop/etc need some work, but I think this could make for fantastic online classes this fall😀👍
00:00 - Teaching my first ever online class tomorrow! Here is a preview of what my class will look like for my students from their zoom windows. Looking forward to welcoming each and every one of the 160 students that I will be teaching this semester in my classes.
00:00 - Check out this great article on my teaching innovations to hopefully provide a high quality experience for my students online this fall! Doing my best to turn lemons into lemonade. Also I'm now ready to be an economist youtube/tiktok influencer😉
- 🧵 on new paper w/ @abicadams, @KristiinaHuttu2 & @ningzhang0927: "Violence Against Women at Work" #MeToo demonstrated assaults b/w colleagues are an internationally relevant phenomenon. We study consequences of realized assaults for perpetrators, victims & wider firm. [1/18]
- Incredible news to wake up to!!!!!!🎉🍾🥳 Claudia Goldin made the quite subversive choice to study women - what shapes their labor supply decisions, their labor market outcomes, and more - at a time when most did not consider 50% of the population worthy of such study. [1/3]BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2023 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Claudia Goldin “for having advanced our understanding of women’s labour market outcomes.” #NobelPrize
- As we're discussing economics culture issues, a personal story. I struggled my first year. I came straight out of undergrad (w/ 1 year between starting NGO) and was behind. When I asked profs how to improve, one explicitly told me "not everyone is meant to be an economist" [1/5]
- This paper was a complete passion project. Too many women experience violence at work. Hopefully, by understanding the costs of these events and role of management in mediating them, we can do better. For it to land in such an amazing & dream journal is such an honor🎉🥳 [1/3]Recently accepted by #QJE, “Violence against Women at Work,” by Adams-Prassl (@abicadams), Huttunen (@KristiinaHuttu2), Nix (@EmilyNix100), and Zhang (@ningzhang0927): doi.org/10.1093/qje/qj…
- I sometimes have students ask me about careers in academia and what I recommend. That is a very hard q to answer. On the one hand, there is lots I love about my job: great co-authors, lots of flexibility, creatively challenging work. On the other hand, some big negatives. [1/6]
- I've occasionally had grad students who seem to think cleaning and doing all the nitty gritty of data collection and analysis is beneath them. Completely wrong, data collection, cleaning, and analysis is usually >75% of my time on a paper, and often the most challenging.
- A big chunk of my research agenda since PhD focuses on violence against women & their LFP. Early on a senior economist told me these weren't important questions. I vehemently disagreed but worried I wouldn't publish well. But this prompted an important career realization: [1/5]
- Paper accepted🎉🎉🎉 Plan to write a full thread once it is officially in print, but just enjoying it today🥳 Very proud of this piece and grateful to have worked with an amazing co-author and a wonderful editor.
- Was feeling guilty about not working more this weekend (I only did some fun work) and then I came across this Biden memo. And I thought, if taking some time off on a weekend makes me not the sort of employee academia wants, then maybe they're not the employer I should want.
- It's me!😂 Been a long week and the kind comments are making my work day better today. Cannot believe so many have watched this interview that originally aired on @KTLAMorningNews with @richontech. Great to have a career with opportunity to have big impact in research+teaching.
