Biographical Sketch

EMIR ESTRADA received a B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Chicano/a Studies from UCLA. Her research interests in immigration and gender are influenced in great part by her own immigration experience. She is studying immigrants from Mexico and Central America who work in the informal sector of unregulated or semi-regulated jobs. More specifically, she is researching the children of these workers, examining their role in the family’s economic survival.
