My research explores the relationship between political economy, migration patterns, and state regulation in the era of capitalist globalization, with a special emphasis on the United States. I am particularly interested in analyzing the development of immigration policy as a mechanism for the regulation and disciplining of labor. My dissertation draws on both primary and secondary sources, including original interviews and participant observation, to trace the development of a nascent regime of "militarized migration management" during the twilight of the era of undocumented migration. The first article from this project, “Beyond the Border Spectacle: Global Capital, Migrant Labor, and the Specter of Liminal Legality,” appeared in Critical Sociology and won the ASA Marxist Section’s Albert Szymanski-T.R. Young Marxist Sociology Graduate Student Paper for 2020. In an upcoming chapter in the edited volume Marxism and Migration, I analyze the role of the immigration industrial complex in militarized migration management. I have also published my work in several outward-facing venues, including a recent essay on immigrant justice in Catalyst: A Journal of Theory & Strategy.
