I am interested in how race/ethnicity, gender, and class are embodied and enacted in everyday institutional and community contexts. My research has focused on the conditions and experiences of Latino populations, connected as these are to the conditions and experiences of other ethnoracial groups. I have studied the racialized production of community identity and space, the racialized, gendered, and classed dynamics of immigration and community integration, and race/ethnicity in workplaces and educational settings. My recent and ongoing work explores the experiences of Latinos in Oregon's coastal communities, and in seafood processing work. I am participating faculty in Oregon State University’s Marine Studies Initiative, which prepares students to engage a transdiciplinary approach in dealing with the challenges facing our oceans and coasts. My work has appeared in Ethnic and Racial Studies, the Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Antipode, the Journal of Urbanism, and American Behavioral Scientist, among others.
