Race/Ethnicity, Immigration & Social Stratification

This project collectively examines how various racial and ethnic groups in Los Angeles and across the nation differentially access scarce resources like safe neighborhoods and naturalization opportunities. Papers from this project tackle this issue from multiple angles, but have a unifying theme. Data used from this project come from the Los Angeles Family and Neighborhood Survey (LA-FANS), the Current Population Survey (CPS), and the U.S. Census.

Articles in this section don’t really represent a project. From time to time, I am involved in collaborative work that results from interactions with different scholars. These interactions sometimes yield published materials, sometimes they don’t. But I enjoy these collaborative ventures nonetheless.
