Golash-Boza, Tanya, Maria D. Duenas, and Chia Xiong. 2019. “Global Capitalism, White Supremacy, and Patriarchy in Migration Studies.” American Behavioral Scientist, 1-19. doi:10.1177/0002764219842624.
Abstract: Ten years after sociologist Mary Romero lamented the “ideological and theoretical gulf between immigration research and the sociology of race,” researchers have begun to bridge this theoretical gulf by centering critical race theory in studies of migration. Building on these analyses, this article argues that migration flows and immigrant incorporation are shaped not only by White supremacy but also by patriarchy and global capitalism. Insofar as migrants, predominantly from the Global South, are usually racialized as non-White, and come to work in a labor market shaped by exploitation, oppression, and patriarchy, it is critical to think of migrant flows and settlement within the context of what bell hooks describes as a White supremacist capitalist patriarchy. We draw from examples from our research with a broad spectrum of migrants and their children to elucidate how these three systems of oppression shape the experiences of migrants.

Class Activity published in TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology. Washington DC: American Sociological Association.

Abstract: The purpose of this activity is to help students inductively learn Goffman’s concept of impression management through examining how they behave in four social situations: professional settings, with friends, on social media, and important but personal settings. To complete this activity, students will examine their own behavior in each of these settings, such as their word choice, style of dress, posture, and conversational topics. Through a class discussion, students will learn Goffman’s impression management – that we adapt our behavior in different social situations in order to impress the people that we are speaking to.
