RESEARCH INTERESTS: (insert one paragraph below)

My work draws from the areas of Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies, sociology, education, and Gender/Women’s Studies to explore community issues.  I have written on Latina/o parent and student organizing, critical pedagogy, intra-ethnic relations between Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants, and Latina/o teachers.  My most recent research explores the schooling experiences and interactions between Asian Americans and Latina/os with the aim of creating more just schools.  I am also involved with various programs (from middle school to college) that focus on increasing the numbers of working class and students of color in the educational pipeline.
