  mentoring_philosophy: 'Mentorship is how we learn, without always “reinventing the wheel.” Mentees’ under my tutelage will be encouraged to engage critically with project material so that they gain both practical skills and a more holistic understanding of the political world. As with research and politics, a combination of experience and novelty is needed. While experience promotes continuity and efficiency, novelty promotes innovation and fresh ideas. In this way, mentor and mentee engage in a mutually beneficial relationship.'

  overall_research_project_description: |-
    This research project traces the activity leading up to and after the passage of Senate Bill 256, which was passed in Florida Legislative Session in 2023. The bill puts new restrictions on public sector labor unions in Florida which threaten the existence and political efficacy of organized labor in Florida. The study focuses on the political competition for state power between official state actors, the power elite, right wing organizations, and labor unions. This project contributes to the study of how political power is wielded and contended for on the ground by organizations and individual actors.

    This project is a part of ongoing dissertation research. Methods used in this project include ethnographic study of legislative session, collection of official documentation produced by organizations and governments, and interviews with union leaders and legislators.
