Prof Prachi Srivastava

Wonderful to be at the DevED25 Conference in Melbourne on education and global development - a new forum for ideas and practice exchange.

Looking forward to learning from colleagues from academia and international NGOs and agencies working on education challenges in Asia and the Pacific.

Oh my heart! The Bonaventure is a delight. It was a vision of a futuristic city ingeniously connected to the metro and to the rest of the city underground via the tunnels. The shopping centre was. I have warm memories of wandering through the Bonaventure with my mom on shopping trips in the '70s.

Heading off to Melbourne! Kicking off the week with my talk:

Thank you for understanding.

Not really. It's more about Canada-US relations than baseball. Very unfamiliar ground in many ways.

Montreal bagels. Every. Time. My hill.

Love this!

My first thought... a phone directory. 🤦‍♀️

Clear your conference expenses.

Very important. We still need to build business cases for investing in education. Here's yet more evidence.

Education pays.

Deeply reflexive piece on Malala Yousafzai's unrelenting efforts to protect and advance the right to education for the most vulnerable girls and women. Personal, political, professional - from child activist to global woman leader.

At 28 she has done more than most of us will do in our lifetimes.

‘To the men who ran the world, I was just a photo op’: Malala Yousafzai on growing up, getting cynical – and how getting high nearly broke her The global icon of women’s education is ready to tell the full story of her turbulent recent life, from arguing with her parents to being ghosted by the statesmen who were once desperate to be seen wi...

Even Malala's been ghosted:

'"not one of them picked up the phone, or replied to my messages [regarding her pleas to evacuate Afghan partners]. To the men who ran the world, I was just a photo op." [...] She notes, pointedly, that female politicians did.'

🌍Every document brings the world closer to #aidtransparency.

Nearly 500,000.
That’s the scale of documents shared through the IATI on aid, from project details, contracts, budgets, evaluations, and more.

Thinking about this for most of the night, I don't think normal people realise Banerjee & Duflo leaving MIT is Bad-Bunny-level academic news.

Some days, I'm extra thankful for my compassionate and wonderful collaborators who step in when the load is too much.

Today is one of those days.

Thank you. 🤍

Tea stains and weighted h-indices.

The exodus has begun

Oh wow.

I had an article under review for 2 years. It made it through - but still.

I split the class up in groups according to interest. They have to work on a case study during class time and submit by the end of the class. It's like doing a lab but in a social science setting.

I've done in-class group assessments for one of my courses.

Tell me about it. But we're heading into spring/summer here and I miss October fall. :)

Hahaha... two halves of my personality in perfect measure. There's a bouquet I need.

Best ever season for fashion.
