All replication files and code for my published and forthcoming work are available on my Dataverse.

I am also involved in a number of large-scale, original data collection efforts. You can read more about these projects below.
Freedmen’s Education During Reconstruction (FEDR) Dataset
​
In work with Breanna C. Gray, we are compiling digitized educational records of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands (i.e. Freedmen’s Bureau).  These data report the educational attainments of emancipated slaves in the Reconstruction-era American South, disaggregated by gender, subject, county, and month. FEDR data represent the richest existing portrait of educational initiatives undertaken during Reconstruction. In a series of projects, we use these data to study: (1) how the presence of occupation forces during Reconstruction affected African American engagement with Freedmen's Bureau schools; and (2) the political and economic legacies of education during Reconstruction.
​U.S. Coast Guard Migrant and Drug Interdictions Dataset
​
Through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, I have obtained declassified, geocoded information on all maritime migrant and drug interdictions by the U.S. Coast Guard from FY 1995 through FY 2017. Data are available upon request.
