Excited that this paper with my wonderful colleague @shaunaldyer is out! Grateful to @ReadDemography, @umichStoneCID, and @UMSociology for their feedback on this paper. We provide further evidence that there’s a need for a path to citizenship for young Latinx adults. ¡Pa delante!
College degree gaps persist btw Latina/os & Blacks & Whites. Using longitudinal census and ACS data, @shaunaldyer & @G_RomanTorres of @UM_PSC illustrate trends over 70 yrs & how college enrollment differences & citizenship influence educational attainment.

Rocking @umichStoneCID in Tennessee! One of my favorite parts of my research on Latinx placemaking in Southeastern TN is observing fútbol matches and the various people that gather in spaces like the one behind me.

Only 5% of graduate students at @Columbia are Latinx. I am one of those students. Columbia regularly features me in their publicity. This week they also threatened to fire me for going on strike. @SW_Columbia#CUonStrike
“UC lecturers need a fair contract, one that outlines reasonable workload standards, creates pathways to promotion, and provides fair compensation…without it, we will continue to be…a cut-rate and inhumane way for the UC system to bring skilled and experienced teachers”

It would be helpful if the US would finally acknowledge its contributions to destabilization and regime change in the region.
Doing so can help us change US foreign policy, trade policy, climate policy, & carceral border policy to address causes of mass displacement & migration.
