#SEA2022 was very fun, but it was also a chance for many people to pull me aside and tell me stories about times they have been harassed or assaulted by fellow economists, or to ask me advice about what friends of theirs who were recently victimized can do. #EconMeToo
Two things:
1. It might seem that the public momentum for change has died down but I assure you there are lots of powerful people working behind the scenes right now to make change happen. I am in close contact w many of them. Send us your creative/crazy ideas! #EconMeToo

2. I continue to believe that journalists are our best allies. We need to publicly embarrass institutions that fail to protect students & employees. I have a list of reporters who are eager to investigate bad actors. Contact me for their info. #EconMeToo
I'm planning to be completely offline this weekend so please get your #EconMeToo allegations in by Friday. 🙃
More seriously, I've spent the past few days basically running a giant switchboard, putting victims & witnesses in touch with interested reporters. If you have a story to share, no need to tell me any details, just email/DM me asking for the journalists' contact info.
No need to go on the record at this point. The goal is to starting building external pressure that will force our institutions to make meaningful changes for the better.
