Starting today my new personality is going to be of a confused interdisciplinary scholar who keeps reading theories from different disciplines and tries very hard to understand overlaps but eventually gets more confused.

It was fee waivers that did it for me, and most importantly mentoring networks like @BahujanEcon
Replying to @DinaPomeranz
- Reduce barriers to strong students from LMICs getting into leading PhD programs (e.g. waive the often prohibitive application fees) - Teach grad students in all applied fields (labor, public, environmental, macro, etc.) about research across the global income distribution 6/n

Maybe democratize access not just by country but also within country? A lot of international students do come from high SES as well, parents with PhD/higher ed. Most of us who actually grew up poor know first hand what poverty is. Personal motivation is so underrated.
