Rachel Croson mentors junior faculty at CeMENT Mentoring Workshop
At the most recent ASSA Meetings, Rachel Croson served as a mentor for CeMENT: the CSWEP Mentoring Workshops, sponsored by the American Economic Association, the Committee on the Status of Women in the Economics Profession and the National Science Foundation. Along with 18 other senior female economists, she spent two days advising female junior faculty on topics as diverse as publishing strategies, how to get tenure, work-life balance, and professional activities. Together with Lise Vesterlund of the University of Pittsburgh, she intensively mentored four junior faculty, providing feedback about their research, advice on their career progression, and describing hot questions and political landmines in experimental and behavioral economics.
