Adrienne Judson

PhD Candidate in Economics

Georgetown University

Welcome to my webpage! My name is Adrienne Judson, and I am a labor and applied microeconomist. In my research, I use quasi-experimental econometric techniques to study policies affecting low-income and marginalized Americans. Though I enjoy research, my true passion is teaching!

In the fall of 2025, I will be joining the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities (LEO) within the economics department at Notre Dame as an Assistant Teaching Professor. I will be teaching courses and advising students in the new Evidence-Based Poverty Alleviation Concentration for undergraduate economics majors.

Teaching

I have nine semesters of experience as an instructor and teaching assistant for undergraduate-level courses at Georgetown University. I have taught in in-person, online, and hybrid formats. In my teaching evaluations, students consistently remark upon my preparedness, my supportiveness, and my ability to explain complex concepts in clear and easily understandable ways.
