Every year stories like this about difficult transitions into university are published but they’re always worth reading. Uni marketing departments don’t win friends in high places for being honest about how hard it can be to start university www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Such a great turn out for our workshop today on stand up and improv for economics teaching at the @economics-net.bsky.social DEE conference. Special commendation to Prab Riat www.linkedin.com/company/thin... for her energy, and for the participants who threw themselves in
Another great - if I may - @hetecon.bsky.social PhD research methods workshop done for the year. I love how the workshop sessions cover so much ground. Thanks to @anninak.bsky.social Ariane Agunsoye, Paul Downward, @danielleguizzo.bsky.social Don Webber & Andrew Brown and @lubsecondept.bsky.social
Thanks to Andrew Brown of @lubsecondept.bsky.social and Ariane Agunsoye of @goldsmithsuol.bsky.social and all our participants at day 1 of the annual @hetecon.bsky.social PhD workshop on methods. We’re all mixed method-ists now!
Another sad post. Peter Davies was what every younger scholar needs: a friendly face and help. Peter’s work with the @economics-net.bsky.social was valuable to me. He bridged the disciplines of Econ and Ed beautifully. www.economicsnetwork.ac.uk/news/peterda...
This is very sad news to hear. Paul was an excellent scholar: bright, curious, open, tenacious, creative. He’s a big loss.
