Selected Works in Progress

Throughout this past academic year, I was given the opportunity to present my collaborative research at a number of political science conferences. Between myself and two other students, our research was presented at PRIEC at University of North Texas, Southern Political Science Association (SPSA) annual conference, Western Political Science Association (WPSA) annual conference, and Midwest Political Science Association (MPSA) annual conference.

Below is a video of me presenting at MPSA, held in Chicago, Illinois:
