Human Rights Data Analysis Group

In 2011, I interned with the Human Rights Data Analysis Group on their Guatemala project, working under Dr. Megan Price. I was responsible for merging, cleaning and organizing a complex set of datasets corresponding to a sample of documents drawn from the Guatemalan National Police Archives in Guatemala City. I also traveled to the Archives to help prepare a statistical report in the trial of a former police chief for the disappearance of a labor union leader in 1984. (The police chief was convicted in 2014 and sentenced to 40 years in prison.)

 

I won a J.W. Saxe Memorial Prize for Public Service in 2011 to do this work, which was presented by request to the Fisherman’s Wharf Rotary Club (San Francisco) in 2011.
