Academic and Reference Pages
- The material that used to be in my substantive pages (e.g. separate pages on American politics, international organizations, or political methodology) has been moved to the "Additional online resources" pages for my undergraduate courses, above. These pages were not visited very often when they were maintained separately, and this allows their contents to be more useful for my students.

My Data: Added announcement about 2019 J. David Singer Data Innovation Award to relevant pages (Fall 2019). Added ICOW quarterly and annual reviews page (May 2019). Released version 1.30 of the ICOW Historical State Names data (November 2018), version 1.10 of the ICOW Colonial History data (November 2018), and version 1.02 of the ICOW Territorial Claims data (December 2016).

Updated all site code from HTML 4.1 to full HTML5 compliance, added a SSL certificate so the site can use the more secure HTTPS rather than standard HTTP, and merged a number of substantive poli sci pages (most of which received few visitors per year anyway) into course-related pages where their material will be more useful (Summer 2018).
