Is there an alumni group for IES-funded PhD’s?

IES supposedly funded over 1000 PhDs, of which I am apparently one of the last. With the training grants dying, it’d be great to have a formal alumni network where we could share jobs, grant opportunities, etc.

so is there an APIE then

Interesting piece in ASR.

"This article argues that folklore [...] shapes far-right voting by inculcating feeling rules that resonate with nativist and autocratic ideas... we find a robust and considerable effect of the presence of fearful folktales on radical right voting."

Congrats!!! Swarthmore is an awesome community to be a part of.

Quick musing from what I've seen recently- If you're looking for job opportunities in the ed policy/research space, I think you should probably be on LinkedIn if you aren't already. I've mostly used Bluesky for research engagement, but feel like more job posts are over on LinkedIn (used to be on X).

For years, I've wanted to build interfaces for an ongoing data collection effort (web scraped job postings) but never had the time. In about 30 minutes with a gen AI tool I was able to make something passably decent: job-postings.andrewmcamp.com

If you are reviewing for ASHE, AERA, and AEFP (!!!) definitely don't feel like you need to for APPAM too!! Trying to catch those folks in particular who didn't know they could be a part of the APPAM review process 🫡🫡🫡

There may also be a panel in the review set, too - same set of scale questions/feedback for not each individual paper but the whole set together, but that'd be more like 2500 words. This may be a little off from my memory of reviewing a year ago, but I'm pretty sure it's not far off!!

For each of the ~10 reviews (hopefully fewer), you'd be reading a 500 word abstract and IIRC scoring the submission on a few likert scale questions and then providing a few sentences of feedback for the ones who you are not recommending to be included in the program

Edu policy peeps!

I'm co-chairing the edu section for APPAM 2026 conference with @doughesm.bsky.social @taylorodle.bsky.social and @brittanyvasquez.bsky.social - if you would be interested in reviewing submissions, please let us know! We're aiming for about ~10 per reviewer.
