Professor Bada received her PhD in Sociology from the University of Notre Dame. Her scholarship focuses on the civic, cultural, and political participation of Chicago-based Michoacano migrant hometown associations. Her research interests range from immigrant access to political and social rights, Black-Latino relations, and transnational communities, to the intersections of migration and rural development through the civic participation of migrant-led hometown associations in Mexico and the United States. For the last two years, she has been co-directing a multi-sited immigrant civic integration study in six medium-sized cities and two major cities in the United States. The project led by the Mexico Institute at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. is titled "Latin American Migrants: Civic and Political Participation in Binational Context" and is sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation. Results of this project can be found at: www.wilsoncenter.org/migrantparticipation.
