Doing Economics is Now Out

My book Doing Economics: What You Should Have Learned in Grad School―But Didn’t (MIT Press) is finally out. You can get it here from Amazon, or you can click here for non-Amazon alternatives.

Once you have read it, I would be grateful if you could please take time to review it on Amazon, Goodreads, or B&N, as reviews drive a book’s post-release marketing.

Why I Wrote “Doing Economics”

My book Doing Economics: What You Should Have Learned in Grad School—but Didn’t is coming out in a little over two weeks on May 10. If you would like to have it in hand as soon as it comes out, you can pre-order it here.

With the publisher’s permission, I am sharing an excerpt of the book’s introduction below, after which I explain what the book covers, and how I am qualified to do so.

“Doing Economics” on the Hidden Curriculum Podcast

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.  Show notes: In the episode, we mentioned many resources for people interested in learning more about LGBTQ+ opportunities: American Economic Association CSQIEP Queer Economics Mentoring Conference Economics of LGBTQ+ Individuals Virtual Seminar Series LGBTQ Research starter pack by Dario Sansone Sam's current favorite paper: A Review of the Economics of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Recommendations of the Week: Sam recommends checking out Data is Plural Alex recommends rollerblade wheels for your office chair Sebastian recommends a super easy recipe for Pomodoro sauce
