In @ChicagoPolicy, I argue how/why to increase the poverty line, even in a deeply divided government. Following the important work of @BeckyBlank, and discussions in class with @MilesCorak and my colleague Jack Shea, and chats with @PaulKrugman. chicagopolicyreview.org/2023/05/15/rai…

"Firms have really bad incentives when it comes to protecting privacy." Read this interview with activist and sci fi writer @doctorow on how interoperability would affect firms' conduct!

"We have to try new solutions," @BetoORourke tells @mgsanders22 for @ChicagoPolicy, "that are uncomfortable and different to confront those in power who have squandered the opportunity to save lives." chicagopolicyreview.org/2023/03/29/lea…

“Our cities suffer from many inequalities,” said @Molly_ESmith MPP Class of 2023 and Editor-in-Chief of @ChicagoPolicy, writing about disparities in urban spaces. “But our Harris education has prepared us to tackle these issues head-on.” har.rs/3GlXT4x

So what happens when the government finds a critical error in your iPhone's code. Should agencies disclose what they found to Apple or should they hold onto it to use against America's adversaries? Check out my most recent piece in the @ChicagoPolicy chicagopolicyreview.org/2023/04/05/sit…

If we truly want to celebrate the #principles that #MLKJR stood for, we must recognize that #justice is more than affirmations of Black Americans' worth. Justice makes "demands on the pocketbook." What policies you think #MLKJR would advocate for today? shorturl.at/jrwGK

Writer D. Sherbini examines the landmark Artifical Intelligence Act proposed by the #EU, the first-ever piece of #AI regulation from a major regulatory body. Read below to learn about how the EU aims to curb the harmful effects of AI on a massive scale! shorturl.at/blB46

It’s officially 2023 and the Chicago Policy Review team is hard at work! Check out our first newsletter of the year with a message from Michael Brown, our Head of Learning & Development: shorturl.at/opyAM #newyear #samecommitment

Read writer Jose Macias' prescribed shock doctrine to reshape congressional practices and increase #equity and #transparency in the #hiringprocess and professional #training rb.gy/bg5onj

Frequent and increasingly intense #disasters pose a growing risk for #India's vulnerable populations. One CPR writer suggests further developing the post-#disasterrecovery framework as a tool for continued #sustainabledevelopment. tinyurl.com/3nb89v9u

There are countless examples of weird economic #metrics being informative during crises when other measures have lagged behind. Is it time for economists to consider including nontraditional indicators in their assessments of #recessions? tinyurl.com/5n69x3pc

"The core question is what a reasonable #workweek can (and perhaps should) buy." Writer argues that the pandemic revealed a fundamental flaw in the #metrics the @federalreserve uses for #monetarypolicy management. tinyurl.com/2946h7p8

Writer calls on #Chicago leaders to take advantage of this moment and apply for funding to narrow these gaps. With the recognized #disinvestment in the South/West sides, what infrastructure do you think @Chicago should focus on first? #INVESTSouthWest

Broadening the definition of national #infrastructure, the #BIL has provided a real #opportunity to physically rebuild and address decades of #racialinequity throughout the U.S. tinyurl.com/4kjkmztf

@ERAillinois Thanks for leading the way! #illinoisftw @congressdotgov @HouseFloor, where there's a will, there's a way. What's the hold up? #equalrightsamendment

@ChicagoPolicy On it! #ERAis28 capitolnewsillinois.com/NEWS/illinois-…

Did you know that 70% of all #femicide cases in the high-income world are committed in the United States? #equalitycantwait #equalitymatters #womenrights #GBV #genderbasedviolence rb.gy/oglh07

Any @HarrisPolicy students available for a story?

This lack of dialogue might explain why the U.S. is one of 28 countries out of 194 that does not explicitly guarantee #equality of the sexes. Why do you think this dialogue is absent in the #USA? Would attention lead to a national ratification of the #equalrightsamendment?

Unlike nations with strong societal dialogues surrounding GBV - e.g. France, Mexico, and Turkey, the U.S. is seemingly unaware of its high rates of #gendered violence and killings. In contrast to the rest of the world, it has lacked mass protests or prominent national discussions
