“Immigrants’ Health” à CHANGE TO “Immigrants’ Healthcare Access” IN DROPDOWN MENU

Revise summary paragraphs on this page to the text below:

This research explores how shifts in health policy, namely the Massachusetts Health Reform (Chapter 58), the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), and attempts to repeal Obamacare transformed immigrants’ healthcare access in Boston from 2012 to 2019. I conducted interviews with over 200 immigrants (Brazilians, Dominicans, and Salvadorans), healthcare providers, and immigrant and health advocacy organization employees to understand how race, ethnicity, and legal status (also known as “racialized legal status) influenced their ability to obtain coverage and navigate the complicated healthcare system. Despite living in the capital of the state that was the epicenter of health reform, immigrants still struggled to access coverage and care. Furthermore, the intensifying anti-immigrant and racist socio-political climate over this time period also deterred immigrants from seeking care despite having coverage.

“Brazil” à CHANGE TO “Race and Migration” in dropdown menu

Revise summary paragraphs on this page to the text below and include at the top of the page before listing the selected publications

This research focuses on understanding how the movement of people across geopolitical borders transforms individual and societal-level conceptions of race, racial classification, and racism. This research began when I conducted interviews with Brazilians from Governador Valadares (GV), Brazil's largest immigrant-sending city to the US, to explore how living in the US transformed how they think about race. Most of those findings are discussed in my book Race on the Move: Brazilian Migrants and the Global Reconstruction of Race (Stanford Press, 2015). Building on that work, I have since examined how the intersection of race with documentation status influences the meaning of citizenship for migrants in host countries, and its implications for migrants’ access to health care and other social services.

“Cultural” à Change to “Identity Taxation” in dropdown menu

Change title at top of page to “Cultural and Identity Taxation: The Experiences of Faculty of Color in Academia”

Revise summary paragraphs on this page to the text below and include at the top of the page before listing the selected publications

This research is based on publications I co-authored with Laura Hirshfield (University of Illinois-Chicago) in which we explored how the extra "diversity" service expectations placed upon faculty of color led to them feeling "taxed". This "cultural taxation" (coined by scholar Amado Padilla) may become a barrier to tenure and promotion for faculty of color. Building on that work, we developed the term “identity taxation” to demonstrate how faculty with other “underrepresented” social identities (e.g. LGBTQ, women in the sciences) may experience a similar burden. Identity taxation also influence tenure advancement prospects and the nature and content of the intellectual products we produce and reward in the academy. We most recently published a co-edited volume and Special Issue in the Journal of Ethnic and Racial Studies on this highly cited work.
