Welcome! Welcome to my website. I am a recently defended Ph.D. in government and politics from University of Maryland, currently serving as an APSA Congressional Fellow with the Office of Daniel Lipinski (D-IL). I believe that the purpose of academic websites should be the free exchange of information. For teaching that means I include all my class materials for all classes I have taught. For research that means I provide all the completed datasets I have used for my research, access to that research, and information on projects I am currently working on. In general, this website is also a forum for a healthy level of self-indulgence. All well rounded individuals should have multiple interests, hobbies, and obsessions. Mine, including all kinds of other useless information about myself, can be found here as well. contact information: Email: jim.curry0@gmail.com Phone: 301-325-4979
