My most recent work has been in cultural stress (e.g., discrimination, negative context of reception) and in crisis migration. My colleagues and I have recently received two research grants to test cultural stress theory within the context of crisis migration (Puerto Ricans following Hurricane Maria and Venezuelans fleeing the Maduro regime).
My main interest & focus is preventing problems and promoting competencies in adolescents and emerging adults. Below are more specific sectors of this focus:
My working experience encompasses research and teaching in identity, broadly defined (including personal, ethnic, and cultural identity), in culture and ethnicity, in parental involvement and family functioning, and in preventing problems and promoting competencies in adolescents and emerging adults.
