Navigating the Job Market as an LGBTQ+  Candidate

September 2022

Join the APPAM LGBTQ+ Community for a panel discussion on “Navigating the Job Market as an LGBTQ+ Candidate!"  The discussion will cover the economics, education policy, health & labor, and public policy markets and include advice and tips for both academic and non-academic job seekers.
 

Collecting Information on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in NCES Surveys

Historically, researchers interested in conducting quantitative research on education policy and LGBTQ+ populations have been limited by the availability of survey and administrative data. Happily, there are growing opportunities in this area. Please plan to join us virtually (via Zoom) for an hour to hear from researchers from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) on some new developments!

Although this event may be of greatest interest to education policy researchers interested in LGBTQ+ populations, we envision that it will also be of interest to a broader audience of education policy researchers who work with federal survey data. We also believe it will be useful to education policy researchers who conduct their own surveys to learn about best practices around asking questions around SOGI identity. This event is co-sponsored by APPAM & AEFP LGBTQ+ Researchers.

The Wonk, Episode 18: Labor Unions in Public Policy

In this episode of The Wonk, our guest Mandi Spishak-Thomas, PhD Candidate (Columbia University) and union organizer, discusses the role of labor unions in public policy. Specifically, we review the recent resurgence of unions, their depictions in the media, and the influence labor organizing can have on health policy and health inequities. We also take a closer look at the recent organizing efforts led by the Student Workers of Columbia and the results of their historic 10-week labor strike.
