Personal Statement
My dissertation is a transnational social and institutional history of the deportation of Mexicans from the United States since the 1940s. Currently, I am a Fulbright-García Robles fellow and affiliated scholar at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México’s Centro de Investigaciones Sobre América del Norte in Mexico City. My work has also been supported by the Immigration and Ethnic History Society’s George E. Pozzetta Dissertation Award, an OAH-IEHS John Higham Travel Award, a Hopkinson Fellowship (with support from the Mellon Foundation), the President’s Award from Penn’s Graduate and Professional Student Association, and a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar on “Rethinking International Migration.” I have presented at the American Historical Association annual meeting, the Organization of American Historians annual meeting, the Tepoztlán Institute for the Transnational History of the Americas in Mexico, the History of Education Society annual meeting, a seminar on return migration at CISAN-UNAM, and as part of the Penn Program on Democracy, Citizenship, and Constitutionalism’s Graduate Workshop Series.
