About my scholarship

I am a Professor of Sociology who researches im/migrants' lives. My work examines im/migrant adaptation in an era where insecurities abound. My research includes migrants' emotional well-being and how they adapt to challenges posed by racial and ethnic inequalities, legal status, disasters, and other experiences of advantage/disadvantage. I am the founding director of the Im/migrant Well-Being Research Center, at the University of South Florida.
