Alongside my teaching and scholarship, I engage in public discussion about the things I care about, including the treatment of Latino/x people in the United States, farmworkers’ and food workers’ rights, immigration policy, and demystifying academia. My thoughts on these topics have been featured in interviews with:
NPR/KCRW, “United Farm Workers: The Once Politically Powerful Union is Struggling”
The Guardian, “Why Americans Are Eating More Cilantro Than Ever”
Mother Jones, “Inside a Worker Rebellion in the Central Valley”
The Huffington Post, “15 Latino Activists You Should Know and Read About”
CNN, “Oprah’s New Book Club Pick [American Dirt] is Fueling a Debate”
NPR, “When the US Government Tried to Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers”
Meant to Be Eaten Podcast, “Farmworkers’ Rights Amid and Beyond the Pandemic”
