Hi All, We have 3 new PhDs so far this year and another starter in January. Due to our unusual situation, I wonder if there might be some value for people to volunteer to mentor one of the new starters. May I please ask for any volunteers to please get in touch. The mentorship scheme will be ad-hoc and would be a way to welcoming them to the division, and giving them someone to be in touch with that is in their PhD cohort. I think it would be a nice way to foster community. Please note that if I do not get volunteers, by the end of the week. I will ask some of you to take on the roles regardless. best, Hector -- Dr. Hector Gutierrez Rufrancos Lecturer in Economics University of Stirling School of Management PhD Convenor, Economics Division, University of Stirling School of Management Co-Director UG Programme in Economics, University of Stirling School of Management Global Labor Organization Research Fellow https://rufrancos.org ________________________________ The University achieved an overall 5 stars in the QS World University Rankings 2020 UK Sports University of the Year 2020 (Times Higher Good University Guide) The University of Stirling is a charity registered in Scotland, number SC 011159.

Hi All, Further to my email last month here is the full details (below) about Charles Manski's programme of lectures he will be giving in Glasgow next week.

While he will lecture on optimal decision-making in the context of medical treatment choice under uncertainty, the methodological issues he will discuss are also relevant for decision-making under uncertainty in disciplines as diverse as economics, finance, management, law, education, and political science. More information on the lectures, including the lecture slides, suggested readings and on how to register for free can be found at the link https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/business/events/headline_712187_en.html .
