Researcher Centric Methodology (RCM) for Indigenomics
No full textThis project was presented as part of the Indigenomics NOW conference in 2024 with the Global Centre of Indigenomics.
In a world increasingly engaged with the concept of reconciliation, policymakers must navigate the unique needs of vulnerable communities, many of which face prohibitive barriers to have a seat at the table.
In this talk Strassmann introduces this as a basic human capital coordination problem leading to systematic unintended consequences and proposes a solution: Researcher-Centric Methodology (RCM), a revolutionary approach to methodology that puts the the researcher’s own insights and lived experiences as tools for analyzing complex social issues to the test. RCM encourages researchers to incorporate perspectives often systematically excluded from the field, bridging gaps in representation to create more inclusive, impactful policies
THE SPARTAN SCHOOL OF INSTITUTIONAL ECONOMICS AT MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
Get PDFHeterodox scholarship at Michigan State University (MSU) was influenced by the institutional economics of John R. Commons at Wisconsin. But it was far from monolithic and had many other sources and originality of its own. A case can be made that the center of institutional economics moved across Lake Michigan from Madison to East Lansing and blossomed in the second half of the 20th century with such Wisconsin Ph.D's as Raleigh Barlowe, Warren Samuels, Allan Schmid, Harry Trebing, and others. Equally important in making MSU a center of institutional economics were scholars from other institutional backgrounds such as Paul Strassmann, economic development; Robert Solo, science and technology; James Shaffer, agricultural marketing and consumer behavior; Nicholas Mercuro, law and economics; and others.Institutional and Behavioral Economics,
A Replication Of Chiswick and Miller (2007): Language Skills, Linguistic Concentrations, and the Business Cycle
No full textThis project aimed to reproduce the results of economists Barry Chiswick and Paul Miller (Chiswick & Miller, 2007). While the results have approached a replication, inconsistent data storage for such old data derived from magnetic tape strips poses challenges for our efforts at perfect replication due to larger issues that researchers ought to concern themselves with when relying on older datasets. This thesis takes a closer look at the original paper’s approach, followed by a description of the strategies used in the process and why the remaining barriers matter for researchers
Ability and Neurodiversity (Book Sample)
No full textThis is a comprehensive intersectional reference aid for university faculty and administrators around disability and accessibility issues.

Rethinking Public Transportation for the Neurospicy
No full textThis paper discusses the common challenging experiences
that individuals with AuDHD (Autism and ADHD) face when taking
public transportation regarding potential concerns and pareto improve-
ments that can be made across sensory, executive functioning, mental
health, sexual violence, and research methodology with little-to-no envi-
ronmental consequences. This paper contains potentially triggering con-
tent, and reader discretion is advised

John Stuart Mill On the Merits of Colonization
No full textWe often forget that classical liberal economists such as Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill lived in the same period of British history as the era of the British empire. The 19th century presented economists with a complex historical context surrounding international trade and imperialism, especially Britain's presence in India. The massive failed revolt of 1857 challenged England's military and administrative authority in the region, and India would not see independence for another hundred years. It was in this same England that the last of the classical economists resided.
Setting aside questions of morality, these classical economists opposed colonization on an economic basis. Generally, the surviving argument was that the costs of colonization, especially concerning India, outweighed its merits in contributing to British peoples' average living standards. This paper unpacks what the best economic argument in favour of colonization had to offer, and why Mill's position represented the exception as opposed to the rule
