Immigration, Gender Roles, and National Economies List of Participants Alícia Adserà – Princeton University Alícia Adserà's interests are in economic demography, development and international political economy. Alicia is a research scholar and lecturer at Woodrow Wilson School. Some of her work focuses on how differences in local labor market institutions and economic conditions are related to fertility and household formation decisions in the OECD (and Latin America). In addition she is interested in an array of migration topics (i.e. immigrant fertility; the relevance of language, political conditions and welfare provisions among the determinants of migration flows; the wellbeing of child migrants; differential labor market performance of migrants across European countries). Before coming to Princeton, she was an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Research Affiliate at the Population Research Center of the University of Chicago. She has previously taught at Ohio State University and Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. She has received fellowships from the University of Chicago-NICHD and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, among others. Her work has been published in the American Economic Review P&P, Economic Journal, Labour Economics, International Migration Review, Journal of Population Economics, Population Studies, Journal of Law Economics and Organization, and International Organization among others. Ph.D. Boston University. Patricia Cortes – Boston University Professor Cortes is an empirical labor economist working on international migration and gender. In her work she has studied how low-skilled immigration affects prices and the labor supply of high skilled women in the US, the role of foreign nurses in the US healthcare system, and female migration flows in East Asia. Her work has been published in the Journal of Political Economy, the Journal of Labor Economics, the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, the Journal of Human Resources, and the Journal of Health Economics. She obtained her PhD in Economics from MIT and a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Economics from La Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, Colombia. She has also been an Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago, Booth School of Business and a Visiting Scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Maurice Crul – Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam Dr. Maurice Crul studied Political Science at the University of Amsterdam and Ethnic Studies at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. Maurice Crul has published extensively on the educational careers of children of immigrants both nationally and internationally. He is the general coordinator of the international project: 'The Integration of the European Second Generation' 1 (TIES). He is also the principal investigator of Children of Immigrants in School (CIS) project which looks at second generation Dominicans in New York and second generation Moroccans in Amsterdam. During 2009-10 Maurice Crul was a research fellow at the Russell Sage Foundation in New York where he worked jointly on a book comparing the second generation in the US and Europe: “The Changing Face of World Cities. Young Adult Children of Immigrants in Europe and the US.” His most recent research project, ELITES, looks at successful youth of immigrant background. Successful second generation youth will be interviewed in-depth in four countries about their pathways to success. Maurice Crul has also been working on the topic of mentoring and tutoring (both doing evaluation research and developing a methodology) and is presently adviser to the largest national mentor program in the Netherlands (funded by the Royal Orange Foundation). Rafaela Dancygier – Princeton University Rafaela Dancygier is associate professor of Politics and Public Affairs at Princeton University. She received her Ph.D. in political science from Yale University in 2007. Dancygier specializes in comparative politics, with a focus on the implications of ethnic diversity in advanced democracies. Her work has examined the domestic consequences of international immigration, the political incorporation and electoral representation of immigrant-origin minorities, and the determinants of ethnic conflict. Her first book Immigration and Conflict in Europe (Cambridge University Press, 2010) explains how immigration regimes and local political economies determine whether or not immigration destinations witness conflict between immigrants and natives, between immigrants and the state, or no conflict at all. Her current book project, Dilemmas of Inclusion: Muslims in European Politics (forthcoming, Princeton University Press) examines how minority groups – and Muslims specifically – are incorporated into politics and explores the consequences of this inclusion for the nature of party politics and electoral cleavages. Her other work has appeared in the American Journal of Political Science, American Political Science Review, Annual Review of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Comparative Politics, World Politics and in edited volumes. Immigration and Conflict was awarded the Best Book Award by the European Politics and Society Section of the American Political Science Association (APSA), and it was also named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title. Her articles on related topics have been awarded Best Paper Prizes by APSA’s Sections on Comparative Politics; Migration and Citizenship; and European Politics and Society. 2 Helga A.G. de Valk – Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute Helga A.G. de Valk is theme group leader Migration and Migrants at the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI, the Hague), professor of Migration and the life course at Groningen University and professor at Interface Demography Free University Brussels (VUB, Belgium). She received her PhD from Utrecht University (2006). During and after her studies she has been an invited guest researcher/professor at several renowned places including the Graduate Center of CU New York, the Center for Demographic Research in Barcelona, Bocconi University Milan and the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg in Delmenhorst/Bremen. Her research focuses on migration and integration, the transition to adulthood of immigrant youth, union and family formation, the second generation, intergenerational relationships in immigrant families, segregation and European mobility. Most of her work takes an international comparative perspective. Among her recent ongoing projects are the ERC starting grant project “Families of migrant origin: a life course perspective” (Familife), the Urban Europe funded project on residential segregation across Europe (Ressegr) and the Norface funded “European welfare states in times of mobility” (MobileWelfare) project. She has published articles in a wide range of leading journals and books in the field of demography, migration and family sociology. She is acting editor-in-chief of the European Journal of Population (EJP) and was awarded the European Demography Award 2016. Katharine Donato – Vanderbilt University Katharine Donato is professor of sociology at Vanderbilt University. She has examined many research questions related to migration, especially between Mexico and the United States. These include the consequences of U.S. immigration policy; health consequences of Mexico-U.S. migration; immigrant parent involvement in schools in New York, Chicago, and Nashville; deportation and its effects for immigrants; the great recession and its consequences for Mexican workers; and gender and migration. Her recent publication, Gender and International Migration: From Slavery to Present, was published by the Russell Sage Foundation (with Donna Gabaccia at the University of Toronto). Recent articles and co-edited special issues have appeared in the International Migration Review and the American Behavioral Scientist. Other work in progress focuses on children; it examines children's cumulative life chances of migrating from Mexico to the United States and shifts in the ways that children and adolescents cross the Mexico-U.S. border. Currently, Donato is also co-Principal Investigator on two externally funded projects. Together with colleagues from VU’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and from the University of Colorado—Boulder, the first project examines how environmental stressors affect migration from communities in southwestern Bangladesh. As part of the project, Donato developed the Bangladesh Environment and Migration Survey and collected data from 3 approximately 2,000 households in 10 communities. The second project focuses on using data from the Vanderbilt Inpatient Cohort Study to understand how social support affects the health of patients admitted to the hospital with coronary heart disease at the time of hospitalization and after discharge.
