Free Speech in Pk-20 classrooms (2019-2020)
I am analyzing data from surveying and interviewing classroom teachers and university faculty about their experiences with free speech or controversial "speech acts" in their classroom and learning spaces since 2015. I have used this data to develop a series of online modules and workshop materials for K-12 and higher education professionals. This project started as part of my fellowship with the National Center for Free Speech and Civic Engagement in 2018.

Title IX coordinators in K-12 schools in the #MeToo Era (2018)

We have completed a national survey of Title IX coordinators to see if the findings from our pilot study are reflected in a larger sample of professionals. Publications:
