Welcome! Here you’ll find posts about my teaching, research, data science, and academic life.
So You Need a Letter? I am often asked to write letters of recommendation for students. This is an important part of our jobs as professors, but I often find myself struggling to write the letter I think the student needs because my experience with them is either limited to a single course or otherwise negative.
I have a new publication on the interpretation of spatial models.
Along with Guy D. Whitten and Laron K. Williams, we have a forthcoming article in the Journal of Politics.
