My friend @peterharveydigital.bsky.social is graduating from his PhD in Literary Linguistics today 🎉.

I really enjoyed this summary of his thesis: www.peterharveydigital.co.uk/post/what-do...

There are nice parallels with work in econ e.g. doi.org/10.1093/qje/...
What do we remember when we remember a novel?
In this article, I’ve tried to summarise my PhD thesis - Recalling Atwood: Text World Theory and Memories of Narrative Fiction

German colleague asked why so many people live in California with disasters like fire, mudslides, earthquakes. I used to live in Los Angeles. The disasters are evidence *for* how nice a place it is to live. If everyone lines up at a kebab stand in a war zone, you should believe it is damn good kebab
I know we all have disaster fatigue, but the reason why historic LA fires get so much coverage is because there are more people in greater LA county than in *most US states*

I'm teaching economics of crime next week. 2nd year undergrad level.

Would love recommendations for papers that are simple to explain (esp. RCTs) and will capture students' imaginations, especially ones that have been tested in class.

Planning to set the scene with this extraordinary figure
