This is so much more than just an art/biogr. book: "The world comes into being in our gaze all the time. It isn't, it becomes. It is impossible to live in this becoming, it is impossible to grasp, therefore we have developed a whole range of different ways of managing it. We call it knowledge." 💜

A total stranger overheard a conversation I was having with a friend about a book on the street and turned towards us and recommended to read Robert Graves' "Goodbye to All That", and how glad I am she did that! It's a great book so I'd like to pay it forward: www.goodreads.com/book/show/55...

Started a month-long travel with the laptop giving me a blue screen error on the very first day. A couple of reminders: dad is an impressive hacker for a 70yo! Still, it's called the blue screen...of death...for good reason. Make sure you have good back ups friends, and happy holidays!!

#econsky #econjmp #econ #jmp I am on the #econjobmarket this year! My JMP focuses specifically on second-generation migrant girls. How does education policy impact them as they grow up in a highly egalitarian society, yet within families that have migrated from more gender-traditional origins? 🧵👇
