The Global Security Research Lab

With support from the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, I created the Global Security Studies Research Lab in the POINTS department in 2022 to support my human trafficking policy dataset project with Dr. Glenn Harden. I mentor up to 10 students each year under the lab, teaching them how to code and build a quantitative dataset from qualitative research sources including US Trafficking in Persons State Department reports and various human rights reports by international organizations. Students gain direct experience with building a new quantitative dataset but also learn about research validity, transparency, and the value of data reliability. Students receive one credit hour of compensation for their work at the end of each semester.
