Ongoing Research :
Currently, I continue to work with Alixandra B. Yanus and other scholars on research related to large, federated voluntary associations and interest group politics.
Data :
If you are interested in data from a solo-authored project, please reach out to me directly and I will be happy to provide it. If you are interested in data from a co-authored project, please include my co-author(s) on the email.
Additionally, I have collected much data on associations that remains unused in publications. If you have ideas or queries, please reach out to me directly and I will be sure to include any co-author(s) on those responses. Thank you!
