Roberto Gonzales is a qualitative sociologist whose research focuses on
the ways in which legal and educational institutions shape the everyday
experiences of poor, minority, and immigrant youth along the life
course. He is recognized as one of the nations leading experts on
undocumented immigrant youth and young adults. Over the last decade he
has been engaged in critical inquiry regarding what happens to
undocumented immigrant children as they make transitions to adolescence
and young adulthood. His West Coast Undocumented Young Adults Research
Project in Los Angeles and Seattle has collected in-depth qualitative
data on over 300 undocumented young adults who have lived in the U.S.
since childhood. This research has helped scholars, policymakers, and
educators gain a better understanding of their educational trajectories,
how they come of age, and how a segment of these young people engages
in civic and political activity. He is currently engaged in two projects
aimed at better understanding the effects of the Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program: the National UnDACAmented Research
Project, a longitudinal study to assess the effects of widened access
among undocumented immigrant young adults; and a companion study to
assess DACA implementation in schools and community based organizations.
He is also carrying out a comparative study of immigrant youth in the
U.S. and the UK. His work is being supported by MacArthur, Irvine, and
Heising-Simons Foundations. Gonzales serves on the editorial board of
Social Problems and the City of Chicago Office of New Americans Advisory
Board. In addition to top social science journals, his work has been
featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times,
TIME, Wall Street Journal, U.S. News and World Report, The Chronicle of
Higher Education, CNN, and NPR. He is currently completing a book
manuscript based on his 10 year study of undocumented young adults in
Los Angeles. Prior to his faculty position at the Harvard, Gonzales was
on faculty at the University of Chicago and the University of
Washington. He received a B.A. from Colorado College, an M.A. at the
University of Chicago, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from the
University of California - Irvine.

This presentation came from a series of lectures which The Center for
Migration & Development at Princeton University is hosting this
spring on a variety of topics around the issues of migration &
development.

Established in 1998, the Center for Migration and
Development (CMD) sponsors a wide array of research, travel, and
conference programs aimed at linking scholars with interests in the
broad area of migration and community with national development.


Of particular interest to CMD research is the relationship between
immigrant communities in the developed world and the growth and
development prospects of the sending nations. The Center's data archive
and working papers series provide readily available resources based on
recent research conducted at Princeton.
