Such a pleasure to discuss my research with ESRF today!

We're excited to release the Collaboration for Inclusive Development Research (CIDR) Survey with Network of Impact Evaluation Researchers in Africa. The survey probes African scholars’ inclusion in research.

Take the survey if you work in, fund, study, or conduct development-related research.

See Jess’ amazing post about our project!

Job posting reminder - deadline 11/30!

My favorite conference - and it keeps getting better. Keep an eye out for it next year if you work in African development. It’s generally funded if your paper is selected for discussion!

I’m looking forward to attending (and presenting at) #AES2023 in beautiful Nairobi, hosted by Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) & niera rara! I’m excited to hear the latest research and for the opportunity to engage with African scholars and policymakers from across the continent.

Let's work to make economics a more welcoming and inclusive place. EJMR does not reflect that and we should hold the toxic folks accountable. I signed the petition - please consider doing so yourself!

Are you an early career African researcher, student, policymaker, or program practitioner based in Kenya?

Apply for our 2-Day Impact Evaluation Training, hosted with Network of Impact Evaluation Researchers in Africa and APHRC, ahead of the Africa Evidence Summit. Applications are due May 15!

This thread is for young ‘uns from poor countries who want to do development economics. We got a paper out that we wrote about South Africa, where a couple of the authors are from. Many people tell you writing about your home country is a bad idea

Quick #researchwriting tip:

Watch out for stacked headings in your #JMP : two or more headings stacked one on top of the other without any intervening text. They look like this:

2 Background
2.1 Models of Learning Loss
2.1.1 Assumptions

I agree although job market candidates for jobs at smaller schools would be wise to remember that we are interested in hiring you because there is potentially nobody in your field in the audience

Tl;dr tailor your talk to the audience
