While I have not engaged in research in the traditional sense, at least as of yet, I have gone above and beyond the material needed to succeed while pursuing my double major. For one particular class that I am currently taking, a data literacy course offered through the Political Science department, I am responsible for finding any peculiar patterns between two indicators of global advancement using datasets hosted by the World Bank. In addition to using statistical analysis to identify patterns, I have explored reading materials not covered in lecture for the courses I am enrolled and conversing with a professor over on leading theories on topics such as global migration, government-controlled central planning, or the trajectories of the future powers of nations. I intend to pursue research opportunities for my political science and geography majors during my final year of undergraduate studies.
