I’m heartbroken to share that my family is facing an incredible challenge as we support my mom in her battle against kidney failure. We’re doing everything we can to provide her comfort and hope. If you can, please consider sharing our GoFundMe. Thank you.gofundme.com/f/help-Thenmozh…

A day after euphoria-driven mayhem, Bangladeshi youth cleaned up around the national parliament, other major buildings and even helped manage traffic in the absence of police. Reflects the enormous confidence and hope in what they’ve just achieved.

The kid on the left should have kept it all to maximise her self-interest,
& the kid on the right should have been inspired by inequality to aspire higher or be resigned to acceptance, not given a handout. Why do kids keep on failing this economics test? teapaw.org/schuld_eth/status/1808…

"What is a witch? ...Isn't the ability to communicate with the invisible world, to keep constant links with the dead, to care for others and heal, a superior gift of nature that inspires respect, admiration, and gratitude?"

"They called me a witch, but in truth, I was simply a woman who knew her worth."

Principled #humanitarian action requires participation of women at all levels. Humanitarian assistance cannot, should not, must not, be delivered with exclusion of women, in #Afghanistan or anywhere. A brave decision @RESCUEorg #genderequality #womensrights @UNAMAnews @iascch @UN
For @RESCUEorg our ability to deliver services rely on female staff at all levels of our organization. If we are not allowed to employ women, we are not able to deliver to those in need. Therefore, we are currently suspending our services in #Afghanistan

No, I havent. And as people who do RCTs rarely respond to criticisms, I have no idea what she thinks.
Professor Kabeer, I just finished your critique of Esther Duflo's Women's Empowerment and Economic development paper, and read her paper as well. I was wondering, have you crossed paths with her since she published the article? Discussing both pieces in class right now @usfca.
