MY FIRST PUBLICATION JUST GOT OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED!!!! I argue that Latino voters and especially independents are often persuaded by campaign appeals on economic topics (e.g., jobs, healthcare, education) Thank you to @PolBehavior and I’m excited to share the final proof soon!

I'm ecstatic to share that starting July 2025, I'll join @UCBerkeley as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the @BerkeleyPsych Department! This is a dream come true for an immigrant from Mexico who left everything and everyone he knew behind to relocate to the US in 2013

Very happy to share the first book review I've written for Indigenous Peoples and Borders! Highly recommend it to anyone interested in Indigenous rights, international relations, and border studies. This book brings together multiple fields and research from across the globe.
#Indigenous Peoples and #Borders invites readers to suspend a spatial understanding of borders and reflect critically about how borders can both hinder and enhance Indigenous #Autonomy across the globe. You can read @_Caro_Martinez_'s review here: doi.org/10.1080/01419870.202…

Using part of my postdoc to work on my book proposal and draft the manuscript. The stories Guatemalan migrants and activists shared with me must reach a broader audience both in the U.S. and Guatemala. Using @lportwoodstacer ‘s book as a helpful guide. @UC_PPFP #CentAmStudies
