What mental models underpin international development? And how do they hold back actors working in conflict-affected countries? In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mareike Schomerus, author of Lives Amid Violence and Vice President of the Busara Center, one of the first behavioral science research labs in the Global South. Drawing from ten years of research by the Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium, she argues that the international development sector, in its current form, often fails to take into account the experiences and perspectives of people living in contexts of violence and conflict and offers a new language for transforming development in the wake of conflict. We talk about the colonialist thinking underpins international development, how the sector's unflinching faith in causality creates blind spots for practitioners, and what it means to envision this space anew.Learn more about Lives Amid Violence and read it here.This podcast is produced in partnership with the Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Seeking important GH or IDEV working papers to evaluate, published by ryancbriggs on June 8, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I am a Global Health and Development editor at The Unjournal. In brief, our mission is to organize and fund public, journal-independent evaluation and rating of working papers. Right now we are focusing on quantitative work informing global priorities, and my area focuses on global health and international development. I am writing because I want people to send me working papers (pre-publication) that are decision-relevant to organizations working in global health and international development. Anyone can submit paper suggestions to rbriggs@uoguelph.ca. If you prefer, authors can submit work through our quick submission form HERE, and others can suggest work using this form. I think two especially useful cases are: Authors sending their own papers so that they can get high quality feedback before submission. This feedback will be public, but we are open to discussing delaying or embargoing feedback on a case-by-case basis. Grant-making staff in orgs like GiveWell or OpenPhil sending in papers that are relevant to their work so that they can read expert reviews before they use the results to inform decisions. The rest of this post explains in more detail: what The Unjournal is, our review process, why we're doing this, what we're looking for in a paper, and who can submit. The Unjournal The Unjournal (evaluations are here) is the brainchild of David Reinstein. Its mission is to offer clear, public pre-publication expert review of working papers. There are two motivations behind this project. The first is that researchers can do better work if they are able to more easily get high quality feedback on their work. The second is that the entire research ecosystem can benefit from these reviews being public. We pay expert reviewers for their time and we give awards for especially high quality research that we evaluate. The initial focus of The Unjournal is on quantitative work that informs global priorities, especially in economics, policy, and social science. I'm an editor for global health and international development. The process While our process runs similarly to an academic journal, we do not publish articles. Instead, we link to working papers and publish reviews (which we call 'evaluations') and author responses. The process starts with editors screening lists of working papers created from submissions or based on our knowledge of the research area. Once a working paper is selected, we contact the authors to ask if they would like to be involved in the process. Author involvement allows authors to converse with reviews and/or respond to reviews. It is not mandatory, but we prefer if authors are involved. We then aim to find two reviewers per paper. Reviewers are experts in the research area and are paid for their reviews. Reviewers have the choice to remain anonymous or not. They read the work and fill out standardized review forms. We then publish the reviews of the work on our webpage (see here) alongside brief comments from the editor and responses from the authors if they so wish. Why do this? If the journal system already exists, then why have something that looks kind of like a journal and offers sort of similar evaluations? We think The Unjournal adds value to the existing journal system in a number of important ways. For example: Unlike most academic journals, we have no bias against null results. This means that we're just as likely to review important work that “fails” to find an effect as important work that rejects the null. We're transparent. We publish reviews online so that anyone can see not only the working paper but also what expert reviewers thought of it. Most social science journals do not do this. We're experiment...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Results of a survey of international development professors on EA, published by ryancbriggs on June 22, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I won an EA infrastructure fund grant a few months back that allowed me to survey all professors of international development in Canada, the UK, and the US on their views on effective altruism (among other things). I'm a professor of international development and I wanted to do this because my view is that this community basically agrees with EA precepts but is unaware of EA. I think this is detrimental to our research and (especially) our teaching. I also think that raising EA awareness among this group is potentially high impact, as professors influence a lot of people who can then go on to do great things in the world. IDEV professors do not know about EA My key question just asked the professors if "they knew enough about effective altruism to discuss it with a friend." The answers are below. Familiar with EACanadaUnited StatesUnited KingdomYes125025No6012183 Among those who said "yes", most were unable to get within a factor of 10 of the most likely right answer to two questions testing EA knowledge. Q1 asked for the multiple by which the highest cost-effectiveness charity outperforms a median one (I went with 100x). Q2 asked the minimum cost to save the life of a child, and I assumed the GiveWell benchmark of about 5000 USD. I report both the median answers and the share within 10x of my best guess as to the right answer. Familiar with EAQ1 median10x < Answer < 1000xQ2 median$500 < Answer < 50knYes4x0.2672.5 USD0.2287No3x0.1458.5 USD0.13264 Those who said that they were familiar with EA did better than those who were unfamiliar, but most people were far from the right answers and most answers mirrored the answers of the public at large (see also). This isn't surprising, as professors are quite specialized and most of us don't study these topics. Most professors had not read EA-related books or heard of EA organizations. My main takeaway here is just that professors don't know much about EA. It should thus not be surprising that when I asked which topics a professor would devote at least 30 minutes of class time to in an introduction to international development course, the topics of EA and moral philosophy were the least likely to be covered, by a large margin. Do IDEV professors already agree with (near-term) EA? They basically do. Almost 80% either strongly agree or agree that “From a moral perspective, people should care about the well-being of all human beings on the planet equally; they should not favour the well-being of people who are especially close to them either physically or emotionally” (Impartial beneficence). The vast majority also agree that “when considering whether or not to devote time or money to a cause, one should think not merely about whether one will do good but also about how much good one will do.” (Magnitudes of good matter) 90% of professors gave to charity in the last year and 70% gave to a charity in a low or middle income country, though the most common reasons for giving were personal connections to the cause or specific charity. Students and teaching Finally, I asked the profs about students and teaching. The profs think that most students enrol in IDEV courses because they want to help the global poor. They think that students start out much too naive and optimistic about the prospects for global development, but that by the end of their program at least a substantial minority of students are overly pessimistic and jaded. Conclusion My main takeaway from all this is that IDEV profs agree with most (near-term) EA principles, but are unaware of EA. Even those that kind of have heard of EA don't actually know that much about it. These same professors often think that students start their pr...

In the US, an Indian wedding typically starts 2 days before the ceremony. The first pre-event is a henna event with the bride and the immediate family. The next event is a ceremony where a paste of turmeric, rose water, and sandalwood (or similar) is applied to the bride and groom to make them look prettier on the day of the wedding. The one after that is music, a coming together of the family. It is a day of celebration. There are a lot of dances, food, and sometimes speeches involved. The day after is traditionally the wedding which is ceremony, lunch, and the reception that evening. In fusion weddings, incorporation of the mandap is a colorful and photogenic addition even if the wedding is light on cultural additions in other areas. The mandap is four pillars, the priest sits down and invites lord Ganesha to come into the ceremony and bless the couple. The fire is a holy fire. Depending on the culture, you might be asked to take rounds around the fire that are promises and vows you give each other in presence of the holy fire. Conflicts usually arise when the budget is not in place, or the person who is paying for it isn't communicating fully. iDev gives a realistic breakdown on the price differences (ie, live band vs DJ, real flowers vs fake, etc).

After you're done with the asian ceremony, you should announce you are proceeding with the Catholic ceremony, so the crowd doesn't get up to leave to find food, etc. Traditionally Indian weddings are very colorful. Avoid black and white. Use accessories, etc. A lot of venues have a preferred Indian caterer.

One of the best and most exciting ways to make an income online is by launching your own products. Earlier this week Jason and I shared a big picture overview of how to launch a digital product.  Today we are going to share how to take that product launch to the next level by working with affiliates!  A big focus of ours in our won business in 2017-2018 is expanding our affiliate base. We have around 100 active affiliates right now but only a small portion of these make any significant sales.  A good rule of thumb when thinking about brining on affiliates, is to launch your product first without affiliates. Do a launch, get comfortable with it, make sure the product works, and then bring affiliates into the mix.  How it works with affiliates: People who are interested in sharing your product can sign up for your affiliate program. Once approved they will get their own affiliate links to share your products.  If someone purchases through those links, that affiliate gets a percentage of the sale. Typical commissions on digital products are 30-50%.  How to run an affiliate program: Running an affiliate program takes a little bit of technology. I know it can be scary, but there are several different options that can make it easier.  The most common option are Wordpress plugins. Here are a few that we've used.  iDevAffiliate This is my #1 recommendation if you are using wordpress. It's not actually a plugin, it's an addition you add to your site. It's a little wonky to get set up but once it's set up, it gives you SO many tools. This is an affiliate program you can grow with.  We started off using iDevaffiliate for our digital products and used it for a long time before we had to switch where we host our digital products. Now we use iDev for our product store. It's not the cheapest option out there because it does offer so many features. But it is very affordable compared to make other big programs. I think it's a great happy medium.  Find out more about iDevaffiliate here What it costs: Cloud option: $39 a month and includes a TON of extra features. If you need a FULL affiliate suite (which most people don't need when just starting out), this is an incredible deal!!  Standard: $199 one time fee. This is very important: a lot of the more robust programs are monthly fees. The standard version is what we have had for several years and it was $199 one time!  Make sure to come follow us on Instagram: Our Work at Home Life!   Woocommerce Integration If you already use Woocommerce then there are a couple of plugins that are already integrated with woocommerce. It's not necessary to use one of these plugins if you use woocommerce. After all, we run Woocommerce in our product store and yet we use iDevaffiliate as our affiliate center.  I have not used either of these and do not know how easy/hard they are to get up and running. I do like the idea though that they integrate with woocommerce.  The two options they offer are Affiliate WP ($99 a year) or Affiliates Pro ($59 a year).  LeadDyno The other robust affiliate program that I have been very impressed with in the past is LeadDyno. We used it for a short time last year when we were trying to figure out some fancy things. Ultimately, we ended up moving our affiliate program to Clickfunnels but for different reasons.  Overall I was very impressed with LeadDyno. It was easy to use and offered a TON of advanced features that you can easily grow with. I will need to wrangle Jason into doing a comparison video one day of LeadDyno verses iDev!  Find out more about LeadDyno here.  What it costs:  $49 a month for the starter plan (which is all you need for a while!) Be aware however: The more traffic you have, the more it costs! Overall, iDevaffiliate IS cheaper over all.  What We Use:  We moved our entire digital product database to New Kajabi in 2016 and we haven't looked back! Kajabi comes with an internal affiliate program which works great for simple products and simple funnels.  However we desperately needed some more advanced features to sell our online training academy and annual online conferences. So I did HOURS of research and found another website that would integrate sales into Kajabi: Clickfunnels.  Clickfunnels is expensive but it runs our entire affiliate program and all our sales pages and funnels. It's a HUGE and amazing program and we totally love it. If you want to try it out, you can get a 14 day free trial.  What it costs: $97 a month but this is for the landing page and sales funnel aspects only. This is what I recommend over LeadPages. I LOVE IT!  $297 a month gives you access to the full affiliate suite AND an advanced email service provider. (I told you it was expensive!) How we support affiliates during a launch: 2 - 4 months before your launch:  This is your time to recruit your affiliates and let all existing affiliates know about your upcoming launch.  (Honestly - I'm not always the best at communicating this far in advance with our affiliates. I need to work on it.) 1 month before:  Now's the time to do some affiliate training if you want. A great idea is doing a Facebook live training, recording a YouTube video, publishing a quick start guide etc. When in doubt when working with affiliates: Make the promotion VERY plain and very clear. People are busy! Even if you think you've already mentioned things several times, mention it again! 3 weeks before:  At least three weeks before is the best time to give your affiliates early access to the product or give them the opportunity to purchase it early.  The best way to have affiliates who sell, is to get them in LOVE with your product! So make sure they have access to it!  2 weeks before: At least two weeks before, pass out all promotional material. Give your affiliates access to ads, banners, sample emails, Facebook posts, etc. Give them the tools they need to be successful!  During The Launch: Email the affiliates everyday with simple, easy action items. Email your affiliates and give them a sample email for the day. Or give them one simple action item they can act upon within 5 minutes.  Share your own promotional material with the group so they have some ideas to work off of.  Be in constant communication with the group, let them know what's working, what's not working, and any ideas you come across.  I know this was a brief introduction to working with affiliates. So please let us know what other questions you have about this process so we can make sure to address is in future episodes.  In episode #4 of the podcast we will be sharing how to create a free opt-in offer for launching your digital product. Episode #4 might be my favorite one yet - stay tuned! Download our FREE Product Launch Checklist!  I know this is a TON of information! So I distilled it all down into a handy printable product launch checklist for you.
