Practice job talks are critical but often impossible for students who are remote from their programs. I'm offering up to FOUR free pol sci practice job talks in Oct (mutually agreeable dates/times) for remote students. It can either be student and me alone, or we can invite others.

Reducing access to abortions ...

- increases families' debt,
- increases income inequality,
- increases housing insecurity, and
