Kirsten Christiansen

Expertise: Statistics

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice from the CUNY Graduate Center in 2018 and have been teaching at John Jay for several years, focusing on undergraduate and graduate level statistics and research methods courses. My dissertation was a qualitative analysis of the framing of public protest in news media (specifically looking at newspapers in New York City). I am originally from Wisconsin but I have lived in New York City for over a decade, with a few years’ stop in Kentucky along the way.
