Economists think I’m a philosopher, while philosophers think I’m an economist. I’ve just been enjoying the schizophrenia.

Postdoc at the Paris School of Economics

Great! See you then

See you in Munich, Malte!! And we celebrate both---my job market success as well as yours ;)

Thanks! And don't worry, you didn't miss much! But let's try to catch up. Will you be in London for PPE?
March 19, 2025 at 3:23 PM
That said, I can't wait to get to know the PPE community in the US—a world I've admired from afar but never been part of until now. And at Purdue itself, I can’t wait to make new friendships, be a valuable colleague, and play a meaningful role in the education of my students.

All this means that my life in Europe will soon be coming to an end. This really is bittersweet. It would be a mug’s game to try and sum up my love for Amsterdam and what this city has given me. I'm going to miss it all terribly. I may be Indian, but over the years I have become an Amsterdammer.

They say it takes a village to raise a kid, and it took a global community to shape my academic journey. I'm overwhelmed by, and grateful for, the intellectual and emotional succour of people in India, the Netherlands, Paris, and beyond who have carried me to this point.

Really interesting case. Thanks for bringing to my attention!

Thanks! And if I may, both @layekangaye.bsky.social and @goraphaelgo.bsky.social should be on the list as well. They are at different stages of their PhD in economics, but both are the latest iteration of that incredible tradition of French philosophical economists!

This is fantastic. Thanks for collecting this. Can I be added as well?

Here is my start! I'm having a hard time keeping track of who is here these days. Apologies if I missed you. Let me know if you want to be added or removed, or if you know anyone else who should be on here.

A corollary to your point: whatever one’s own specialization is in, it’s possible to attend any philosophy talk and understand as well as engage with the talk in a meaningful way. This is not true in other academic disciplines, where sub-disciplinary norms and boundaries are well established.
