We did it, y'all! @JeremyLSinger & I wrote a book! Out March 25, preorder @Harvard_Ed_Pub now! Folks often agree that schools can't solve chronic absenteeism alone, but nearly all the strategies, accountability, & research are directed toward schools. hep.gse.harvard.edu/97816825…

We have very little evidence on what schools are doing to address absenteeism. This paper begins to fill that gap by showing that high-absenteeism districts in MI are relying heavily on communication & incentives, with limited efforts to address barriers. Ungated link below, too!

I'm excited to participate in this panel on student absenteeism hosted by the @aefpweb Doc Student Community Group this Thursday 10/31. You don't have to be a member to join us! Maybe we can convince @ehutt1 to dress up for Halloween!

Sharing our @DetroitPEER postdoc opportunity again before our Oct. 18 deadline! This is a great opportunity for a qual or mixed methods researcher in sociology, social policy, ed policy, or urban planning to study at intersection of ed and housing. Apply! careers.aera.net/c/job.cfm?s…

Thrilled to have been awarded an inaugural SUMI grant from the Urban Institute for a project with Huriya Jabbar! We're comparing gold-standard social network data to admin data on enrollments, course-taking, residential location, etc. to see if we can predict youth social ties.
