Post-Doc, Chicana & Chicano Studies
About
I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Berkeley in 2008. My research interests include transnational immigration, race, ethnicity, identity formation, and notions of time and waiting in immigration. I am also interested in tourism in the Napa Valley and the early production of the wine industry. My dissertation titled “Migration as a Matter of Time: Perspectives from Mexican Immigrant Adolescent Girls in California’s Napa Valley” traces the immigrant journeys of girls raised in transnational families.
I am currently a University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Cesar E. Chavez Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles where I am working on my book manuscript about time, migration, gender, and adolescent girls.
