A sign of wisdom is thinking in probabilities rather than certainties. Naïve people are arrogant. They claim to know what will definitely happen, and believe they're always right. Wise people are humble. They explore what might happen, and admit they're often wrong.
Important new study on gender and retention patterns in academia with data from the United States. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Despite modernisation, economic growth and rising proportions of employed women in the twentieth century, for a long period of time the earnings gap between women and men hardly closed. According to 2023 economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin, part of the explanation is that…
Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same…
University staff are at breaking point. It's been a long time coming. The institutions have been run more and more like businesses, less like engines of knowledge and training. Students suffer. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/education…
If you are a woman, there's a chance you won't get promoted because you are underestimated. In a study, Prof. Kelly Shue, Alan Benson and Danielle Li discovered a trend: women consistently outperformed men but were undervalued in leadership potential. 👇 insights.som.yale.edu/insights/women…

Extremely excited to finally announce that the Swiftposium – an academic conference on Taylor Swift – is happening in Melbourne in February 2024 (organised by a team from seven universities across Aus and NZ!). CFP and abstract submission portal here: swiftposium2024.com
But when it comes to the working group, the inquiry was very clear in its view: “The committee lacks confidence that the university sector (as a whole) will respond appropriately to the crisis without strong intervention... The time for ‘working groups’ has passed.” #auspol

In many places, @R_Thaler & I avoid claiming that people are "irrational." We often say that it is both false and not very nice to say that. Better to say that people are "boundedly rational." As we say in Nudge, “we do not think that people are dumb; we think the world is hard.”
