Website So, yes, the site has been quiet and running on life support over the past few months. But I am making an effort to change some things around. A few pages are gone from the site, which I felt were taking too much effort to keep updated, most notably the massive list of online [...]
So, yes, I am taking a statistics final this evening and will have one month off of school before a quick 3-week summer class on “Education and Economics in an International Perspective” taught by Keiichi Ogawa from Kobe University in Japan. Should be a great class to satisfy my never-ending economic hunger. This one month [...]
As I recently lamented how infrequently I blog, but regularly engage on Twitter, I can’t help but at least make an effort to post something. Anything. I have a few posts in the works, most of which will have to wait until my semester officially ends in two weeks. Some of what I’m working on: [...]
Let’s get something out in the open. I’m not terrific at blogging. Like many full-time working professionals out there, I have little time to spare. Add in school, family, travel, and volunteer work and before you know it, time is scarce. That about sums up my current existence. But there’s hope. While I don’t have [...]
I was notified this morning that my proposal titled, “A Comparison of Educational Development in North and South Nigeria: Implications of Gender Disparity,” has been accepted to be presented at the 2011 Educational Symposium for Research and Innovations (ESRI) at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. over March 4-5, 2011. The full paper will be [...]
It’s important for me to keep interested readers of this blog updated as to what in the world I’m working on. So here goes. There is a lot in the pipeline over the next couple of months of 2011, all of it very exciting: I’ve been tweaking the design of this website more and more [...]
I have officially ended my first semester at grad school. They say the first semester is the hardest and I’m hoping they are right. I feel as though I finished strong. I focused mostly on education and development in Africa this semester, building upon my existing work and knowledge of the continent, while my second [...]
As part of my Spring semester as a graduate student at GWU, I will be focusing on Latin America the entire semester. I have been studying Africa and heavily involved in work on the African continent for several years and have only recently birthed a new interest and optimism for education, development, and political participation [...]
I have created a new page on this site to begin posting all of my research interests, current and future. All of my topics for research in my graduate papers will go up there as well as non-graduate research interests I (somehow) find time to do. If you find yourself interested in the same topics, [...]
Update (11/9/2010): As luck would have it happen, my paper is coming along very nicely and I have a wealth of data to analyze. This can work both ways. Too much data can make your conclusions more cloudy if you’re not careful. Too little data is an easy problem to understand. I seem to have [...]
