It always seems weird when people post: “some personal news” and then say something like “I will be joining the following organization who will pay me for my labor.” That seems like professional news! But having spent the past few weeks working on finding schools for our kids, selling a house, and planning to move our family, I guess the professional really is personal.
Native Michigander and former Spartan here (but I guess I can forgive a UofM affiliation as we have a few of those in the family as well). I learn so much from your newsletter. Congratulations! Hope you can find some time to take advantage MI’s beautiful ‘west coast’ this summer.
Congratulations! I'm a retired academic so I know the challenges of changing schools and locations as well as the rewards. I was always fascinated by the different accents, foods and student cultures as I moved from school to school. We tend to think of the US a monolith but it's a kaleidoscope and you'll be able to give it a turn. And yes, please keep writing this Substack as your insights, research and expertise into public policy are not only knowledgable, but also nuanced. Although some people are anti-expertise (they stayed at a Holiday Inn) I think those of here know the value that you bring to the conversation.
Congratulations on your move! Although I live in Columbus, Ohio and am a graduate of The Ohio State University, I agree that University of Michigan is a top tier public university. As to their football team...:-)
