Miscellaneous
In today’s episode, we have Maricruz Osorio, a PhD student in the Department of Political Science at UC Riverside! Maricruz is a McNair Fellow, APSA (American Political Science Association Fellow), and recipient of a Latino Fund Grant. Maricruz’ research asks why do some immigrants, and women in particular, with different statuses (DACA, undocumented, asylum seekers, and refugees) engage in risky political behavior. And by risky, or the uncertainty of the outcome, there doesn’t appear to have the same repercussions across different citizenship statuses. In this episode, we talk about women in political science, community support amongst scholars, and books that have saved our lives.
