Undergraduate Mentoring

In 2021, I supervised a team of nine undergraduates collecting data on the newspaper coverage of unilateral presidential actions. I developed a unique training and monitoring program for the task, publishing what I learned in an article and associated R package .

In 2022-2023, I supervised a lab of Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) students. We used personnel records of correctional officers in Mississippi and Arkansas to examine descriptive representation in the carceral state. The students presented their work at a poster session at MPSA (poster available here ). As part of the lab, I recorded a seven-part introductory series on working with data in R. The videos are available here .

Awards

In 2023, I was awarded the university-wide Outstanding Research Mentor Award for my work with UROP. I have also received the John W. Kingdon Award for Outstanding Teaching from the Department of Political Science.
