Nutrition security under constraint
Questions remain regarding how Mexican immigrants achieve nutrition security in the United States, particularly under poverty and in the wake of COVID-19. We employed creative qualitative methods (food maps, ethnographic interviews, photo and shopping receipt elicitation) during one food shopping and cooking event with 12 Spanish-dominant Mexican immigrants in the Bronx, New York. Using reflexive thematic analysis, we found that participants acce…
Risks into benefits
Purpose This paper departs from the catastrophic floods that struck Valencia in 2024 to highlight how unplanned urbanization and excessive confidence in conventional hydraulic engineering have exacerbated flood risk in the region. Instead, we advocate for integrating Nature-based Solutions drawn from approaches to flood management by traditional Mediterranean societies, especially in the so-called Boquera irrigation systems developed in Mediterra…
Persistent yet ameliorable shocks to female entrepreneurship
While female entrepreneurs face multiple obstacles, it is unclear whether gender gaps worsen during economic crises: women, especially married women, may be more affected than men due to these obstacles, but could also be less exposed due to their specialized sectors, or if a crisis flattens everyone together. Leveraging on a unique timing of collecting baseline data just before COVID-19, we examine the impact of randomized grants and business tr…
Remedios Caseros
Communities with already high rates of non-communicable diseases, including Mexican immigrants living in the Bronx, were burdened further by the novel coronavirus. In this context, many individuals sought ways to prevent and mitigate symptoms of COVID-19, including homemade remedies. Twenty-five semi-structured interviews with Mexican immigrants living in the Bronx reveal how they devised and deployed remedios caseros (home remedies) during the C…
There is No Time” to be a Good Biocitizen
This paper explores the ways in which Mexican immigrants experience, narrate, and describe stress and the extent to which it impacts their efforts at engaging in physical activity using a biocitizenship framework. Data were derived from a mixed-method study among Mexicans living in New York City recruited from a large Catholic church. The qualitative sample of 25 participated in quantitative and qualitative components of the study and as such we …
Serological Outcome in the First Months of Life of Children Born to Mothers with Sars-CoV-2 Infection during Pregnancy
Slightly more than half of the SARS-CoV-2 serologies performed in the first three months were positive. This appears to confer protection during early childhood. The severity of maternal infection is the most significant factor influencing the transmission of antibodies in children born to unvaccinated mothers

Lessons Learned in Clinical Research Recruitment of Immigrants and Minority Group Members with First-Episode Psychosis
The human predicament
Are our lives meaningful, or meaningless? Is our inevitable death a bad thing? Would immortaility be an improvement? Would it be better, all things considered, to hasten our death by suicide? Many people ask these big questions - and some people are plagued by them. Surprisingly, analytic philosophers have said relatively little about these important questions about the meaning of life. When they have tackled the big questions, they have tended, …

Entertainment–Education? A Fotonovela? A New Strategy to Improve Depression Literacy and Help‐Seeking Behaviors in At‐Risk Immigrant Latinas
Research shows high risk for depression among immigrant Latinas known to increase during the acculturation process. Several barriers such as stigma and low health literacy result in an under‐utilization of needed treatment among these women. In response, this study replicated the effectiveness of a Spanish language fotonovela , a form of Entertainment–Education (E–E), designed to increase depression literacy, decrease stigma, and increase help‐se…
Psychological Theories of Immigration
Psychology provides a theoretical perspective for the analysis of human behavior and the social environment resulting from immigration. Acculturation outcomes have been of primary interest within the field of psychology as they connect to immigrant well-being. This review expands the focus from acculturation outcomes to the frameworks of acculturative stress, cultural learning, attachment theory, and ethnic identity to further explore the individ…
Ornamental plants and the production of nature(s) in the Spanish real estate boom and bust
The Spanish real estate boom and bust of the 2000s caused immense economic, social, and environmental changes across the country. Massive urbanization, however, does not necessarily entail the end of nature and natural processes, instead marking a radical transformation of environments and societies. Through a political ecology approach, we analyze how ornamental species have become a fundamental part of new natures induced by urbanization in the…
