About Professor Roberto G. Gonzales
Roberto G. Gonzales is professor of education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. His research centers on contemporary processes of immigration and social inequality, and stems from theoretical interests at the intersection of race and ethnicity, immigration, and policy. In particular, his research examines the effects of legal contexts on the coming-of-age experiences of vulnerable and hard-to-reach immigrant youth populations. Since 2002 he has carried out one of the most comprehensive studies of undocumented immigrants in the United States. His book,
Lives in Limbo: Undocumented and Coming of Age in America
(University of California Press), is based on an in-depth study that followed 150 undocumented young adults in Los Angeles for 12 years. To date,
Lives in Limbo
has won five major book awards, including the Society for the Study of Social Problems C. Wright Mills Award; the American Education Research Association Outstanding Book Award; and the Law and Society Association Herbert Jacob Book Award. It has also been adopted by several universities as a common read and is being used by K-12 schools in teacher and staff training.
His work has been featured in top journals, including the
American Sociological Review
,
Current Anthropology
, and the
Harvard Educational Review
as well as in the
New York Times
,
Washington Post
