I'm an environmental economist who researches econ pedagogy to make learning economics marginally less dismal. My pipe-dream is to write a fantasy novel/economics textbook, which is getting closer to reality every day. #economics #TeachEcon #sustainability #DoughnutEconomics #degrowth Profile pic is me smiling in front of a whiteboard with economics gibberish -- cause econ makes me happy. Background is my dog, Freya, who is derpily sticking her tongue out while passed out.

I've been on here a few years, probably time for an #introduction !

I #TeachEcon, #economics, and #degrowth because it's what I know.

I discuss #ClimateChange and #USPolitics because I believe they are important (and #VoteBlue for the same reason).

I research #teaching, pedagogy, and grades because incentives matter, especially in #education.

I read and #AmWriting #fantasy and #SciFi just for the fun of it.

Unhelpful.

Also, for context, I was arrested when linked arm and arm with students on my campus. While not biologically my kids, it has similar emotional connection, to me at least.

As tensions rise over protests and foreign policy, please remember we don't need to 100% agree to be on the same side.

Far-right fascists are mobilizing and authoritarian countries are weaponizong the #Gaza war to weaken democracy. These are far bigger threats than the fellow liberals who happen to have come down on the other side of this complex and highly-emotional topic of #Palestine and #Israel.

Good people can and do disagree, so it may be helpful to tone down the angry rhetoric.
