Collaboration with Students

I welcome the opportunity to work with undergraduate and graduate students and to support extracurricular opportunities for students to learn about the research process and explore research questions of their own. I also welcome requests for an informal conversation or request for feedback on ideas, professional development, or careers in research that you may find useful in your intellectual and professional journeys.

Students may receive invitations to collaborate based on their class performance, demonstrated interest in relevant topics, and available resources. Students are also welcome to contact me with a thoughtful request to discuss potential opportunities to work together. As a policy, I prioritize students who I have met and worked with in another context (attending seminars, taking one of my classes, etc.) as a way to ensure that there is some mutual familiarity with work and communication styles and needs before diving into a larger commitment.

Current Students and Student Collaborators

I am grateful to have had the chance to work with students in research and advising capacities, to have been part of their research and training experiences, and to have learned and grown with and from them, as well.

Reference Letters and Letters of Recommendation

I am happy to support students’ professional and academic objectives by writing letters of recommendation. I will be able to do so most effectively if we have prior experience working together in the classroom and/or professionally or in a research capacity and if I am provided with adequate information to tailor the letter to each opportunity and student.
