• I am looking for students who have a particular interest in international relations, racial and ethnic disparities, and students who want to learn more about statistics. I know most students are NOT interested in statistics, but I believe the techniques I can teach students are invaluable for those intending to go on to graduate school and they will better prepare students for 452.
