Professor McConnell’s recent scholarship focuses on two areas.
The first is the broader implications of U.S. immigration policy and immigration enforcement activities as a structural barrier hindering the well-being and mobility of Latinx people in the United States. This work has been published in Sleep Health, International Migration Review, Journal of Latinx Psychology, Ethnicities, Housing Policy Debate, Race and Social Problems, Social Science Research and Social Problems.
A second area weaves together Professor McConnell’s interests in U.S. population dynamics and media representations of racial/ethnic groups, and public opinion about the growth of people of color in the United States. A long-term research interest, this work has been published in Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race, Population Research and Policy Review, Aztlan: A Journal of Chicano Studies, Latino Studies, and the Sociology of Race and Ethnicity.
