Please ACT! Individuals can submit anonymous comments, which have made a real difference in stopping similar rules in the past. The deadline is September 29.
Act now to block proposed new student visa rule! DHS seeks to eliminate Duration of Status for international students, forcing PhD students to pay costly annual renewal fees & extended wait times. Use ASA’s Action Center to submit public comment by 9/29. https://bit.ly/ASAaction

I'll be sharing my paper at Harvard's “Migration & Immigrant Incorporation” Workshop on Sep 30.

This is (to my knowledge) the first to merge 13 waves of the Pew National Survey of Latinos.

I traced TWENTY years of trends in (anti)-immigration attitudes among Hispanic Americans. Join me!

Excited to share that a chapter from my dissertation on political avoidance among migrants has just been published in Social Forces. doi.org/10.1093/sf/s.... I’ve had the honor of receiving tremendously helpful feedback from many people and engaging with the work of many scholars I deeply admire.
