Her research focuses on issues of educational access and equity for immigrant-origin youth and other historically underserved student populations. Her work includes exploratory qualitative studies of immigrant and homeless families’ school choice behaviors, experimental research to develop and test interventions to reduce educational inequities, and studies of school leaders’ responses to xenophobia in schools and society, as well as their sense of preparedness to address the consequences of immigration enforcement and racism for their school communities.
