Joshua BlumenstockDear friends and colleagues,
The UW Information School, Evans School of Public Affairs, and Department of Economics are excited to announce the launch of a new research seminar, the Joint Seminar in Development Economics (JSDE). This seminar series will provide a regular forum for interaction among the growing community of quantitative social scientists at UW working on issues related to international development. We will meet 5-7 times each term, with presentations from prominent scholars in the field. The seminar will run on Fridays from 11:00-12:30, in Savery Hall Room 410 (the 4th floor economics conference room).
We have an exciting lineup of speakers for the inaugural term:
- April 11: Kelsey Jack, Tufts
- April 25: Hani Mansour, University of Colorado, Denver
- May 9: Jeremy Magruder, U.C. Berkeley
- May 16: Dean Karlan, Yale
- May 23: Ted Miguel, U.C. Berkeley
- May 30: Seema Jayachandran, Northwestern
- June 6: Michael Kremer, Harvard
To sign up for the JSDE email list, send an email to Allison Kelly at akelly11@uw.edu, or visit this page (https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/jsde). Additional information on the seminar and links to papers can be found at the seminar website (http://jblumenstock.com/jsde).
Please circulate this notice to interested faculty, student, staff, or other international development experts from the broader Seattle community. We look forward to seeing you at the inaugural JSDE seminar on April 11!
