The heat is genuinely oppressive out here right now, and it’s only going to get hotter as the day progresses. Cool yourselves, people! And watch out for the wildlife. 🥵

Meanwhile, tell me you’re in Australia without telling me you’re in Australia (specifically, a children’s party).

I came home to a flooded apartment on January 1 after being away for two weeks, and now, this. So, 2026 is starting out terrific, mates.

I’ve been re-appointed for another term as Economics Discipline Leader (Dept Chair) at UOW. I’m looking forward to backing our staff, advocating for the resources they need, and helping a brilliant group of economists do their best work. I’m very grateful for the trust and excited for what’s ahead.

I haven’t posted here in months, but this felt worth resurfacing for: I’ve been elected to the University Council, UOW’s highest governing body. It oversees strategy, budget, and performance; and it protects UOW’s long-term sustainability and academic independence. I’m grateful for the trust. 🙏🏽

I just got back from a two-week overseas trip, so the first thing to do upon arrival in Australia is ☕️. My friends, it is simply not an exaggeration to say that we serve up the best coffee on the planet.

Recently, UOW hosted Danielle Wood, Chair of the Productivity Commission, who delivered the Annual Economic and Social Policy Lecture. Terrific insights on income and wealth inequality and intergenerational mobility in Australia. Thanks, Danielle, and thanks to all attendees!

So, anyway, this was two weeks ago when the James Martin Institute had an awards night for folks funded by the JMI Policy Challenge Grant. I figured I’d rock the barong. 🇵🇭

Well, now that I’m checking Bluesky more often, I might as well also advertise here. Please submit papers for consideration, and come join us at the Australian Gender Economics Workshop in February 2025 here in Wollongong. 🎉
