I'd like to highlight how speedy and thoughtful the review process was at Econ of Ed Review.
We submitted this (fairly short) article via its expedited review process, which resulted in two quick reports, a small revision, and a published manuscript, all in two months.
More of this, please!

Really enjoyed my time at UC-Davis’s Emerging Scholars Panel with other amazing junior scholars (and exploring Davis’ beautiful campus)!
Super thought-provoking discussions about how we can use critical perspectives to meet the current moment at both the classroom and policy/system level.
