Newspaper Media Framing of the Immigrant Workforce in the Context of Florida's 2023 Immigration Law
In 2023, Florida Senate Bill (SB) 1718 was covered by national newspapers, as the issue of immigration enforcement was a key issue during the presidential campaign. Examining SB 1718 through the lens of crimmigration, or how immigration law and criminal matters increasingly converge and overlap, reveals that such laws aim to criminalize undocumented immigrants. Media framing shapes public perceptions about immigrants' perceived otherness, and the…
New Teaching in Participatory Methods for Practicing Anthropology
Anthropologists are moving away from viewing anthropology as a solitary affair towards collaborative research, which values knowledge co-production with community members from research design to data analysis and write-up.

Educating Hispanic Women about Cervical Cancer Prevention: Feasibility of a Promotora-Led Charla Intervention in a Farmworker Community
Hispanic women suffer disproportionately from cervical cancer incidence and mortality compared with non-Hispanic Whites in the United States. Peer-led health education and coaching via charlas (talking circles) may improve cervical cancer screening and early detection rates among specific sub-groups such as farmworker communities. This pilot study sought to collect preliminary evaluation data about the feasibility of implementing a promotora-led …
