3. At PhD & beyond level - consider low-SES/first-gen as a group worth measuring & considering what barriers might impact, in similar way as race or gender. collect data as first step! - other initiatives that improve inclusion generally; mentoring, support; better culture

The open letter from 400+ IZA fellows to the Deutsche Post Foundation in response to the new leadership announcement at IZA is online: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If you're a senior male economist and would be interested in discussing the drafting of an open letter re the newly announced IZA leadership change, e-mail me. Female econs are rightly tired of the burden of such efforts falling on them.
