Gender and Migration
My research career started with this topic because everything I was reading as a graduate student seemed to make broad declarations about the social processes of international migration based on the experiences and responses of only men. My work sought not only to include women’s voices, but also to understand how the whole migration process is gendered, from family decision-making and social networks to labor demand and state policies. In Gendered Transitions (), based on an ethnographic study of a Mexican undocumented immigrant community, I argued for a perspective of migration as both gendered, and as a gendering experience. And going against the grain of transnationalism, I underscored the particular contributions that immigrant women make towards immigrant integration and permanent settlement.

I’m a sociologist, and I worked at USC for 30 years. My research relies on interviews and ethnography to highlight the contributions and struggles of disenfranchised and often under-appreciated Latina/o immigrants.
Doing this kind of research is sparked by own life experiences. My immigrant parents left rural backgrounds in different countries (mother from Chile, father from France—kind of unusual, I know). They made their way from peasant origins, to working class jobs, and ultimately to the suburban San Francisco Bay Area, where I was comfortably raised and educated in public schools and Catholic schools—growing up, I really hated the repressive atmosphere of Catholic school, but I’ve also come to appreciate how I benefited from some of the teachers and practice with writing. As a young adult, I studied at the University of California, San Diego and the University of California at Berkeley, and I spent some formative years in Mexico City and Chile.
Random facts about me: I like being surrounded by plants and gardens. Until fairly recently, I wouldn’t even touch dogs, but now I love them, especially our dog Dusty. I’m now splitting my time between two beautiful places, Califo
