RESEARCH

My current research projects focus on:

Migrant Communities: Effects of Demographic Characteristics on Placemaking under Uncertain Timelines (funded by the National Science Foundation); this project examines forced immobility, gender, and solidarity among Sub-Saharan African migrants in Morocco.
Indigenous Mobilities: Amazigh Im/migrants in the US.
Mixed-status families along the US/Mexico border (funded by the National Science Foundation and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research)
The Immigrant Youth Project, which examines how legal status impacts the social and emotional well-being of young adult immigrants (funded by the National Science Foundation)
