My work centers on issues of race, gender, social class, and immigration. I am the author of a number of articles and two books: Precarious Privilege: Race and the Middle-Class Immigrant Experience (2024); and Latinas and African American Women at Work: Race, Gender and Economic Inequality (1999). My recent book, Precarious Privilege, examines whether and how middle-class Mexican and Dominican immigrants in Atlanta are negotiating the increasingly hostile anti-Latine immigrant climate. I am currently engaged in four major projects: a project focusing on immigration, gender, and labor market outcomes in the U.S. and Australia (supported by the Emory Halle Institute and the University of Queensland); a project investigating the economic and political processes affecting immigrant social mobility through a “double squeeze” from restrictive immigration policy and anti-immigrant rhetoric or a “double boost” from economic opportunities and the benefits of higher education (supported by the Russell Sage Foundation and the Emory University Research Committee); a project looking at whether immigration policies “spill over” to affect U.S. citizens’ labor market and health outcomes (supported by an Emory Provost Racial Justice/Racial Equity Seed Funding Award); and a project investigating Black elites and the racial politics of immigration (supported by the National Science Foundation).
