"Our vision … is to change the culture in economics," says Jill Caviglia-Harris (Salisbury University, Salisbury University - Perdue School of Business). "We believe more voices in the room makes a better outcome in that we are, as a whole, a better field if we’re able to use all of those voices." Harris talks with Resources Radio about her work teaching and mentoring early-career scholars in the field of environmental economics and efforts to foster diverse perspectives in the field.

Are you a PhD student interested in critical minerals for the clean energy transition? Then check out our brand new Critical Minerals Research Lab! 🎉 🔋 Learn more about the program and how to apply here: https://lnkd.in/exM2nYsM
I am so excited to announce the launch of a new interdisciplinary research lab for PhD students working on critical minerals for the clean energy transition!! This is a joint effort between Resources for the Future, Kate Whitefoot (Carnegie Mellon University), Nicole M. Smith (Colorado School of Mines) and Karan Bhuwalka (Stanford University). This lab will bring together diverse students from multiple disciplines (e.g. econ, engineering, sociology, geography, and more) to present their work to each other, receive feedback, and find opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. Now more than ever we need our PhD students approaching critical minerals questions from an interdisciplinary lens- because these students will be our future policy advisors/policymakers on the clean energy transition, ensuring our mineral policies are holistic and understand all different aspects of reality will be key to bringing about effective, equitable and cost-efficient policies that actually work. Applications are being received until July 30 and require support by the student's advisor- apply today (or nominate your student)! More information on how to apply can be found in the blog I've posted below. #criticalminerals #interdisciplinaryresearch #mineralpolicy
