README
# Christopher T. Kenny
I am a PhD candidate in Government at Harvard University. I research redistricting, elections, and the uses and usability of census data. I am a founding member and co-PI of the [ALARM Project](https://alarm-redist.org/). In 2022, I was a fellow at the [Election Law Clinic at Harvard Law School](https://www.hlselectionlaw.org/), where I developed [RPV Near Me](https://www.rpvnearme.org/) [(source code)](https://github.com/electionlawclinic/rpvnearme).
This readme is mostly a table of contents for my GitHub repositories (and some others that I contribute to). For more information on my research, see my [website](https://christophertkenny.com/research.html) or [CV](https://christophertkenny.com/cv/kenny_cv.pdf). Find me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Chris_T_Kenny), [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/chriskenny.bsky.social), or [Threads](https://www.threads.net/@chris_t_kenny).

## Packages under development
These are packages that are actively under development and have not yet made it onto CRAN for one reason or another.
- Stable packages should give correct results, but may need a bit of work tightening up documentation or handling errors better.
- Mostly stable packages should give correct results, but have features left to implement or have R CMD Check issues.
- Experimental packages are entirely under development but will *someday* be good for wider use.
- No promises packages are also entirely under development but I make no guarantees to their usefulness, but hey it _might_ be better than nothing. Send me a tweet, email, or open an issue if you want to ask about specific features in these.

If there are other *public* repos that aren't listed here that aren't forks, they are probably either newer than this Table of Contents, too small to be useful, not supported but I don't want to delete them, or course-related. If you see something that you're interested in knowing more about, send me a tweet or email or just open an issue in the repo.
