Jesse McDevitt-Irwin

Hello world! I am a postdoctoral scholar at the Center for Economic History at Northwestern University. I obtained a PhD in Sustainable Development at Columbia University in 2024.

Trained as an economist, I do interdisciplinary research on health and demography. I am also passionate about teaching and lecture part time at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. I also build cedar-strip canoes.

  • 2024-11-15: My paper on sex ratios and infant mortality has been accepted for publication at Demographic Research.

  • 2024-09-11: My paper “Child Anemia and the 2008 food price crisis in Senegal” has just published in Demographic Research!
