Bio:
My research looks at how immigrants and racial and ethnic minorities relate to their national identity and the nation they currently live in. I am particularly interested in how national and cultural frameworks and philosophies influence how migrants and racial and ethnic minorities feel they belong to the nation. I am also interested in public opinions regarding issues relating to immigration and racism, specifically support for anti-racist policies and immigration initiatives. My current research looks at the effects of ethnoracial identity and skin color on levels of national pride in Latin America.
