Alejandro Hernandez (Ph.D. Sociology) wins GRIT Award
Alejandro will be using the funding received from the GRIT award to present preliminary research results at a panel he organized and is chairing regarding the intersectional experiences of Latin Americans in diaspora – both in the global South and North – but outside of the United States. The panel will take place in Peru at the annual congress of the Latin American Studies Association, the top international conference for Latin American studies. Hernandez’s research examines how Mexican immigrant and refugee youth’s integration processes in Montreal and Ottawa, particularly in the education and employment arenas, shape both their sense of belonging and potential involvement in transnational activities.
Congratulations Alejandro!
