Grateful to have been part of the Regional Policy Dialogue organized by the Migration Unit at the IADB ! Labor mobility offers great benefits for both migrants & the countries of origin & destination. There's still much to be done, & I'm so inspired to contribute to these efforts! #econsky

Wrapping up the week with a fantastic presentation by Olga Stoddard showing evidence of yet another source of gender inequalities: external demands for parental involvement. For 2-parent heterosexual households schools disproportionally contact mothers rather than fathers!

Absolutely inspired by Claudia Goldin's Nobel Prize win! Can't wait to discuss the many contributions and impact of
her groundbreaking research with my students!
