i find myself writing the same email over and over to grad students who are developing early ideas. and every time i deviate from this approach in my own work my papers go sideways. sharing the latest email in case it is helpful.

Thanks so much for having us!

It turns out that I'm incredibly passionate about talking to grad students & others about making the tough choice to leave academia. So, you know, hit me up! And if you see me at the @PopAssocAmerica meeting in April, let's talk nonprofit work!

I see so many fears from academics and students wondering if they'll feel like their research is valued and meaningful if it's "applied." Well maybe I can only speak for myself but since I fully leaned into deeply applied research, it's the most valued and used it's ever been

Our article is published online here: https://t.co/D0AbZK3FA3 6/6

[Laura Cuesta @LauraCuesta_]

We conclude that economic factors may bear more weight than interpersonal ties in decisions to pursue a child support arrangement in Colombia. An assessment of the costs associated with pursuing these arrangements is an important step to improve the child support system 5/6

[Laura Cuesta @LauraCuesta_]

More importantly, only economic independence factors were significantly associated with having an arrangement, and a custodial mother's economic independence discouraged having any child support arrangement 4/6

[Laura Cuesta @LauraCuesta_]

We found that only 35.7% of custodial-mother families had a child support arrangement, typically a private one. Mothers with an arrangement were more socioeconomically advantaged than those who did not have one 3/6

[Laura Cuesta @LauraCuesta_]

In a new article in Family Relations, @AngelaGuarin (@GobiernoUAndes), @kj_eickmeyer (@PolicingEquity) and I (@RutgersSSW) use ELCA (@EconomiaUAndes) to examine the characteristics of custodial mothers and how social exchange theory predicts having child support arrangements 1/6

No city/government/community has ever ended homelessness this way, police-first. Decades of research show this is the wrong approach.
