Publications

This page contains a list of my academic and non-academic publications, as well as my conference presentations.

Peer-Reviewed Publications

Back when I was more actively involved in academia, I published some papers, mostly related to student motivation, how people write, or statistical methodology. Publishing peer-reviewed work has been less of a priority for me lately, but I still dabble here and there.
