Job alert! I’m hiring a postdoc! More details to come but the main responsibility will be working with me to create a dataset of state charter school funding laws. The bigger project is looking to see how the characteristics of these laws shape the fiscal impacts of charters on districts.

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry.
If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

What a surreal experience to be leading a workshop for education researchers on how to write about their research, in a building directly across from the US Capitol, and wake up to discover that the entire national education statistical staff has been fired.
