    1. It’s time for me to go to bed (it’s 1am here!). This evening has been such a roller coaster. Publishing the letter was a huge milestone, and I truly hope it’ll help to shift the field. When I see the reactions from so many researchers, I’m hopeful! 1/3 medium.com/@diversityinecon/a-letter-in-response-to-roland-fryers-resignation-from-the-aea-executive-committee-6761217abfa

    But the letter is only one step. So much more issues have to be addressed to make econ more inclusive. I especially want to focus on LGBT+ people. We are erased so often. Our lives, struggles and difficulties are overlooked and dismissed too easily. 2/3

      I would have loved to attend the ASSA meeting and all the associated events for LGBT+ economists, as I feel quite lonely on this issue. But unfortunately, no funding were available. Maybe next year! I want to be part of this as well. Good night! 3/3
