Summary Statement of Research Interests |
|
| Professor Pulido researches race, political activism, Chicana/o Studies, critical human geography, and Los Angeles. She studies how various groups experience racial and class oppression, how these experiences differ among particular communities of color, and how they mobilize to create a more socially-just world. Asking such questions, Professor Pulido has done extensive work in the field of environmental justice, social movements, labor studies, and radical tourism. Currently, she is working on several projects. First, she is exploring Latina/o (especially ethnic Mexicans') racial identity. In particular, she is examining how the racial identity and position of Latinas/os has varied over space and time. Second, she is exploring the idea of regional political cultures. Specifically, she is examining how state domination has evolved over the centuries in Los Angeles and how it has varied with regimes of accumulation. Lastly, she actively seeks to create a more fair and transparent tenure process at USC. | |
