Adriana Ceron
Adriana is a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Sociology. Her interests include international migration, law and society, social demography, and stratification.
Adriana’s primary line of research examines the impact of immigration law and enforcement on the lives of Central American immigrants and their family, both in the US and their home countries. Her ongoing projects investigate the health status and family configuration of recently deported Central Americans who intend to return to the US. Her dissertation sets to build on this research by examining how Central Americans negotiate life after deportation. Adriana’s work has received generous funding support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Yale Center for the Study of Race, Indigeneity, and Transnational Migration (RITM), and the Mellon Mays Foundation.
