Another fantastic year with this group! Big thank you to @slaszlo.bsky.social and Gabrielle Vasey for organizing this year.

This was such a fun project to work on! Very excited to see it out in the world. Link to the article here (open access 🤩): journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

So excited to share this article we recently wrote for
@voxdev.bsky.social! The TLDR: having regular discussions with community members helped improve student learning and enrolment. Full paper here (open access!): academic.oup.com/wber/article...

Happy election day, Canada! 🇨🇦 If you haven't already done so, this is a friendly reminder that voting is incredibly easy here. It took so little time that @chrisbaileyauth.bsky.social had time for a little post-vote coffee date after👏

Great news! Will the bike lanes run the entire length of Gladstone?

A little reminder for Canada #econsky: the CWEC/CFEC luncheon ticket at #CEA2025 has to be booked separately from your conference registration! www.economics.ca/event-5852688

@carletonu.bsky.social looks even better on skates! What a dreamy way to commute.

Naked Economics by Charles Wheelan always comes to mind here! I’ve recommended this to many people, and have gotten lots of great feedback. It’s intuitive, comprehensive, and also really fun to read.

At our last departmental meeting, we had a vigorous discussion about the School's current and future social media presence.

Happy to say, the School has joined Bluesky! Check us out @carletonsppa.bsky.social and take a peek at the SPPA Starter Pack below.

I'm thrilled to see this site building a serious community of researchers, writers and policymakers focused on education policy and economics.

Below are links to 3 Starter Packs I've made to help you connect with such folks.

Please let me know if I've missed you. The volume of requests has been 😮

So excited to be one of the first speakers for this year's @cdnwomenecon.bsky.social brown bag seminar. Happening this Monday! All are welcome—links below to register.

Ottawa’s not so bad!! 😊 let me know when know when you’re here. Maybe I can convince you! (Or offer emotional support 😅)

Learned about Claudia Goldin’s win by waking up to a very excited text from my dad (who is not an economist but has been a huge supporter of women in STEM–and me!–his entire career).

Lots to be grateful for this (Canadian) Thanksgiving 🍁

Good luck with field work! Have an amazing time!
