I was fortunate to be interviewed some months ago about my forthcoming book by Alex Hollingsworth (Indiana University) and Sebastian Tello-Trillo (University of Virginia) for their podcast, The Hidden Curriculum.
During our hour-long conversation, we also talked about music, my workflow, some of my recent research, and cookbooks. Listen below:
E48 – The landscape of queer research, data, and opportunities – The Hidden Curriculum
In this episode, we talk with Samuel Mann about navigating academia as a queer individual/navigating queer research in economics. Sam is an Associate Economist at RAND Corporation. Previously, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Vanderbilt University in the Department of Economics and LGBT+ Policy Lab. Sam received PhD in Economics from Swansea University in the UK in 2020.
Sebastian Tello-Trillo is an Associate Professor of Public Policy and Economics at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy at the University of Virginia.
Alex Hollingsworth is an Associate Professor of Economics at the Ohio State University.
Henry Morris is our main editor. He is a student at the University of Virginia studying computer science and mathematics.
