Looking for Research Partners! Caregiver beliefs shape how children are talked to, nurtured, and supported, and ultimately, how they learn and thrive. Yet, until now, there has been no scalable way to measure those beliefs in a global context. The SPEAK technology, developed by @DrDanaSuskind and the team @TMWCenter changes that. We view the SPEAK is an innovative, computer-adaptive tool that measures caregiver beliefs about child development across different domains in just minutes and has been shown to predict caregiver behaviors and child outcomes, making it a powerful measure to detect early sources of disparities and better tailor interventions. With the support of @BeckerFriedman at the @UofC, the TMW Center is launching a Request for Proposals inviting researchers and practitioners across the world to collaborate in a new international incubator built around the SPEAK technology. Research funds are available too! We are seeking interdisciplinary collaborators to embed the SPEAK technology into new and ongoing studies around the world. Selected teams will join an international consortium of researchers and practitioners who will gain access to the technology and contribute to building global evidence on caregiver beliefs and child development. Through the organization of virtual and in-person convenings and conferences over the next two years, we hope to provide participants with opportunities to discuss their findings, share best practices, and meaningfully expand their networks. Together, we aim to transform early childhood research and data systems to design more effective policies and advance the science of early skill formation across the world.

The next Chicago School in Experimental Economics will be held November 4-8 in Buenos Aires! 🙌 Co-organized with Universidad del CEMA and @_jilaee ✔️ No program fee ✔️ Breakfast & lunch provided 🗓 Apply by April 30: voices.uchicago.edu/jlist/the-chic…

***Big Announcement!*** I'm thrilled to let everyone know that the Chicago School in Experimental Economics is heading to Buenos Aires! This edition of CSEE will take place November 4-8, 2026 at the Universidad del CEMA.  This intensive one-week summer school is designed to deepen scholars' understanding of frontier experimental methods. Lessons will range from designing and conducting experiments to analyzing and interpreting data to writing up your findings. The curriculum draws from my forthcoming textbook, Experimental Economics: Theory and Practice (amazon.com/Experimental-E…), and participants will also have the opportunity to present and discuss their own research. I'm honored to be joined by an outstanding group of lecturers: Gwen-Jirō Clochard (The University of Osaka) Jared Gars (University of Florida) Luca Henkel (Erasmus University Rotterdam) Justin Holz (University of Michigan) Sally Sadoff (UC San Diego) Julia Seither (University of Chicago) Karen Ye (Queen's University) Applications are now open to researchers across disciplines who work with experimental methods, want to apply them in the future, or teach experimental approaches. Priority goes to junior faculty, but doctoral and postdoctoral researchers are also welcome to apply. There is no program fee, and financial assistance for accommodations is available. Application deadline: April 30, 2026 Please apply here: voices.uchicago.edu/jlist/the-chic… Questions? Contact Melissa De Vries at melissade4@uchicago.edu I look forward to seeing you in Buenos Aires!

Few months ago It was an honor to have @GaryCharness as a JILAEE Visiting Fellow, Oct 2023. His visit in Buenos Aires was marked by both learning and enjoyment. We enjoyed a great asado with him, prepared by Brit Groskopf at her place. A great and sharp mind. He’ll be missed RIP
