Overall Research Project Description This project is focused on enhancing our understanding of Sundown Towns in America. Put briefly, sundown towns were communities that systematically, explicitly, and violently refused marginalized communities (most prominently Black communities) from living or even interacting within the community. This project will continue on data collection for a growing database that will be used as part of a dissertation project. Students will explore the histories of these towns following open-coding methods that will be discussed at the onset of the project.

Research Tasks Data collection

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Recommended: experience with Microsoft Excel, Word; experience with Google Sheets, Docs

Mentoring Philosophy My mentor philosophy, at its core, is about building community. I believe that academic success is fostered by a sense of belonging and support. As such, my goal is to create a space where ideas can be freely exchanged and challenges can be met with collective problem-solving. I prioritize open communication, empathy, and mutual respect. I also emphasize the importance of professional and personal development, and I encourage mentees to actively engage and network in the broader academic community.
