A colleague asked me for suggestions of female speakers in the EA sphere for their high-profile colloquium in Washington DC (not sure if I can disclose the institution, & not sure if it's in person or virtual). This may be a terrific opportunity for both this person & the EA movement. Who would you recommend?
Rachel Glennester is excellent. In so far as I know them, I'd trust her views on the effectiveness of development policy. She did great things as the UK Chief Economist for the Development department. She is a GWWC member and has talked at an ea conference in the. I'm not sure but I think she might now be in the US.
Thanks!! She looks perfect, and it wasn't obvious from her professional page that she was EA, so this was a great find - I've suggested her name.
Or Ester Duflo obviously great and also sensible views on development
