Teaching the sociological imagination
Opening paragraph: In fall 2022, I began a tenure track position at Illinois State University (ISU), as a joint hire between the Department of Criminal Justice Sciences and the Latin American and Latino Studies Program (LALS). LALS is a multi-disciplinary program with affiliated faculty from multiple colleges and departments across campus. In contrast to affiliated faculty whose main teaching responsibilities are in their home departments, as a j…
Black, White, or Multiracial? How Socioeconomic and Political Context Shapes Racial Classification
In this study, the authors examine whether and how city-level socioeconomic and political context shape racial classification practices in U.S. Black-White families. The authors link IPUMS 2012–2022, American Community Survey population estimates, and presidential election voting estimates to create a dataset that has 19,907 children across 1,135 Public Use Microdata Areas. Results from multilevel multinomial logistic regression models show that …
Quantitative Data Availability and Measurement of US Immigrant and Immigration Policies
In this IMR Methods Note, we spotlight the rise in quantitative data availability, measurements, and scholarly investigations of US immigrant and immigration policies (IIPs). To begin, we offer a detailed account of the quantitative data sources, measures, and analytical strategies that have been developed by scholars studying IIPs over the last two decades. We then highlight this scholarship's important advances toward identifying IIPs’ intended…

Recent work on communities of color has elaborated on the concept of system avoidance, which is the avoidance of institutions that keep formal records, such as banks, hospitals, and law enforcement. In this paper, I provide a feminist intersectional analysis of system avoidance by examining whether and how kinship structures shape crime reporting to the police within the 'master' categories of race, gender, and class. Using the National Crime Vic…
Do sanctuary policies increase crime? Contrary evidence from a county-level investigation in the United States
Comparing Peer Reviews
The Universal Periodic Review Mechanism ( UPR ) of the UN Human Rights Council and the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) reflect a growing trend in international organizations to utilize peer review processes to assess and improve member state governance and human rights performance. The two mechanisms are distinct in many ways. For example, the APRM undertakes a more in-depth and rigorous examination of a broader range of issues. Both review …
A Step Ahead in Promoting Human Rights? The Universal Periodic Review of the UN Human Rights Council
The Universal Periodic Review of the UN Human Rights Council is a peer review mechanism through which states make recommendations to each other regarding human rights practices. Representing new global approaches to promoting human rights, the UPR experiment is critical to the fate of the HRC. Understanding the UPR's performance is timely and of considerable importance considering that the second round of country reviews begins in May 2012. This …
