I strive to connect my research to policy discussions. I participated in Bridging the Gap’s New Era Workshop, an annual three-day training program for Ph.D. students who are interested in generating policy-relevant ideas, to further my ability to engage with ongoing policy debates. Here is a list of my public-facing writing.
