“I have an accent, so people know I’m not from here”: A racial and ethnic analysis of international STEM faculty in Hawai‘i
Immigration policies in the Global North often prioritize migrants based on professional qualifications, leading to a reliance on the labour of “highly-skilled migrants” (HSM), especially in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Yet, the workplace experiences of HSM have been understudied, including in higher education. Based on 50 interviews with STEM faculty in Hawai‘i, we identified that HSM faculty held distinct ways of negotiati…
You Have to Prove that You’re Homeless”: Vulnerability and Gatekeeping in Public Housing Prioritization Policies
Building on theories of symbolic boundaries, this article explores the role of the state as gatekeeper to social programs, such as public housing. Using interviews with 75 randomly sampled households living in public housing in Honolulu County, we link contemporary research on gatekeeping with decades of work on how housing policy drives residential outcomes for marginalized groups. In particular, we consider the largely unexamined case of “local…

Political observers argue that the United States is in a contemporary era of voter suppression. We study one mechanism that may limit voter participation, the requirement to show identification documents at the polls-voter ID policy. Voting rights advocates have raised concerns about disparate impacts of voter restrictions on racial minorities. However, past studies have reported conflicting results. Analyzing nationally representative data from …
Contesting the right to the city under scarcity: The case of Micronesians in Hawaiʻi’s public housing
This paper focuses on how residents of public housing in Hawaiʻi view residents from Micronesia, a geographic region of Oceania. Drawing on in-depth interviews with an ethnically diverse sample, we show how public housing residents stigmatize Micronesian community members. Some respondents described Micronesians as unfairly gaining access to a highly limited supply of affordable housing, potentially displacing Native Hawaiians and other “more des…
