  mentoring_philosophy: "I support assistants in numerous ways. First, I aim to educate assistants about research on lobbying. In addition to transcribing records, I meet with assistants weekly to discuss an article or book chapter (and these discussions and readings count towards the weekly time commitment). Second, I support assistants' career goals by regularly writing recommendation letters for assistants when needed, and passing onto them relevant internship opportunities. Third, I meet with assistants regularly to ensure that their questions are answered and that they feel empowered to continue transcribing. "

  overall_research_project_description: 'This project involves the transcription of the names of registered lobbyists in Florida from the 1950s to the present day. Assistants will be given access to high-resolution images of lobbyist registration records from the Florida State Archives, and be instructed how to transcribe the names of lobbyists and their clients into Excel spreadsheets. The data from the Excel sheets may then be used for a variety of research projects, including for UROP posters. Research questions that may be answered using the data include, among others: 1) When did the lobbying industry begin to grow in Florida and why, 2) What kinds of organizations are most active in Florida politics and why, and 3) How long do lobbyists remain in their profession or continue to register?
