RESULTS
My research has generated targeted recommendations for health service providers, policy-makers, and justices.
My statistical analyses of Homeless Management Information System data informed a recent report on increased susceptibility to COVID-19 among racial/ethnic minorities in Los Angeles.
Drawing on 14 years of fieldwork experience in Indonesia, I have prepared reports on gender-based discrimination and LGBTQ rights in Indonesia and successfully secured asylum for my clients.
I compiled interview data collected from justices, witnesses, and other individuals who served on the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda to produce the United Nation's "Voices of the Tribunal" project—an educational resource on the Rwanda Genocide.
