Continuing his collaboration with Sarah Spears ’13 and Dave Levy from the U.S. Air Force Academy, Jim completed his second and third papers on transgender service members in the U.S. military, both of which are currently under review. He is also working to publish two papers with former students Gavin Nachbar ’14 and Chris Mayo-Smith ’14. Emerging from his sabbatical this past year, he has also initiated a series of studies investigating how legalization of recreational cannabis in Colorado has affected the black market. This latest project is in collaboration with former student and CC paraprof, Phoenix Van Wagoner ’13 and his daughter and economics major, Haley Parco ’16.
