Who We Are
The Work at the Intersection
Pattern Hunters, LLC is a public scholarship and accountability research platform that produces Foundation Analyses — long-form public scholarship applying the H.T.I.L.G. framework (History, Theory, Intersectionality, Law, Geography), an original analytical methodology developed by Andrea Hagan, for examining structural patterns in Louisiana and beyond.
Our work lives at the intersection of criminology, community engagement, and institutional accountability. Andrea's commentary has been published in the Louisiana Illuminator, The Lens, The Conversation, and the Baton Rouge Advocate. A criminology textbook chapter is forthcoming.
