My experience includes extensive (quantitative and qualitative) research and writing experience in graduate school and at an academic institute, as well as college-level teaching, editing, communicating effectively, and producing and presenting policy-relevant documents. My expertise, while broad and diverse, is particularly in urban politics, (social) policy, the politics of immigration, immigrant integration, race, ethnicity, and citizenship. I chiefly study the United States (especially New York) and Western Europe (especially Berlin and Germany). I have been teaching Urban, American, European, and Global politics at Fordham University and CUNY since 2006. Additionally, I am currently conducting, and have before conducted research at CUNY Dominican Studies Institute on Dominican and Puerto Rican political behavior, Dominican-American identity and transnationalism, homeownership rates, Dominican-American disconnected youth.
