Research Areas
My research areas of interest are immigration, nonprofits, inclusion, and exclusion. My ultimate aim as researcher is to better understand how governmental and nongovernmental entities contribute to the inclusion and exclusion of marginalized groups in society, with a particular focus on immigrants and ethnic groups.
