This episode of The Dig is brought to you by our listeners who support us at patreon.com

and by University of California Press, publishers of the book Queering Economics by Leanne

Ron Colato and Michael Martel. Economics is one of the least diverse and most exclusionary

social sciences.

This book argues that diversifying the field can lead to multiple tangible benefits.

Highlighting the voices of LGBTQ plus economists and utilizing qualitative and quantitative data,

the book offers a step-by-step plan for making economics more inclusive in order to promote prosperity for all.

Welcome to The Dig, a podcast from Jacobin magazine.

My name is Daniel Denver, and I'm broadcasting from Providence, Rhode Island.

This is the second part in our series featuring short interviews with left-wing and socialist candidates for office at every level of U.S. politics.

I hope you listened to the first episode.

There are a lot of good interviews in there. This episode includes my conversations with

New York U.S. House candidate Claire Valdez, Colorado U.S. House candidate Malach Keros, Michigan U.S.

House candidate William Lawrence, Massachusetts State Senate candidate Erica Iderhoven, New York State Assembly candidate Conrad Blackburn, and Washington, D.C. mayoral candidate, Janice Lewis George. This episode is about all sorts of places. And I'm also throwing dig parties all over the place. Next up is Seattle this Wednesday, May 20th,

from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Stoop Brewing, co-sponsored with House Our Neighbors. Then it's

Los Angeles, May 26th, 6 p.m. onwards at Audiraph Beerco. That's co-sponsored with DSALA and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, or Endlon. Please, RSVP, their links in the show notes.

Berlin, I am coming. I will be speaking at, pardon my pronunciation, Technisha Universitat Berlin, T.U. Berlin, on Friday, June 12th, 5 p.m. I'll be talking about the situation right now, right here in the United States of America, which has drawn a lot of interest for obvious reasons from people all over the planet.

This is part of the Take Back the Future Conference hosted by Socialist Democratic Student League,

the campus affiliate of Delinka.

That'll be followed by a party for dig listeners and friends of the pod starting at 6.45 p.m. The exact location of both will be

announced soon, but it will all be at T.U. Berlin. Hope to see you there. I'll be visiting more
