Economist at UMass Boston and Center for American Progress; focus on racial wealth inequality, retirement savings and economic policy. Center on data driven policy development. Skeets are all my own opinions.
Took some me time for a beer and Alsatian charcuterie. Highly recommend.
We have an amazing campus and the weather again cooperates. (Not shown: the ocean on three sides of campus).
Honorary degrees allow universities to highlight their values. Honoring a Dorchester native, Marry Walsh @umassboston.bsky.social is a wonderful choice in this regard and in these times. Honoring Cathleen Douglas Stone in the same way is no less important (no Pic, though).
Years ago, friends asked if I lived close to the ocean. I said "not really, it's 3 blocks away". Instant zen on a Sunday evening. And there is lots of water access for everyone.
Just to share. This captures my Thanksgiving. Sunrise in northern NH on Saturday
You know things are okay when the kids march with their teachers to raise the pay of the lowest paid. #PayParas #BTA #BeverlySchools #MTA
One of my favorite walks near Freiburg, Germany offers great views of the Black Forest, Rhine Valley and France (though too cloudy to see that day)
It's commencement st UMass Boston. 140 doctoral graduates plus 100s of master's celebrate on our beautiful oceanside campus Congratulations
