#EconBrew
EconBrew is a continuously growing list of PhD holding (or soon to be) economists (and economics-adjacent folks) in academic (and academic-adjacent) positions who would be happy to grab coffee with colleagues visiting their city. Much in the spirit of #EconTwitter, the list is intended to open doors for informal communication and peer-to-peer research conversations. If you would like to be listed here as someone happy to grab coffee with a colleague, please sign up here.
Started in March 2020, EconBrew now has 400(!) economists from 40+ US states and 35+ countries worldwide. The effort is particularly geared towards offsetting some of the loss stemming from the global pandemic halting ways to connect with colleagues. Beyond personal meet ups, some of those who signed up are open to chatting with colleagues over Zoom, regardless of location. Everyone who is open to virtual meets has a note with their entry to indicate this.
If you're a PhD holding (or soon to be) academic economist (or economics-adjacent person), and would like to meet up in person (or virtually, where indicated) with someone from the list, simply shoot them an email referencing EconBrew! That's how simple it is. (You do not need to be listed here to reach out to people.) If you end up meeting someone through this list, I encourage you to tag your tweets with the hashtag #EconBrew. I'd love to see all the professional connections made thanks to the list! (Feel free to also tag or DM me the update.)
