Ideas:
“  Currently I am working on two papers. The first paper will chart the history and evolution of the UC Faculty Code of Conduct and related norms and procedures for the 50th anniversary of the Faculty Code of Conduct. The second paper will address the substantial financial needs of U.S. undocumented college students in the U.S. in this era of political polarization and legal threats to DACA.  ”
