#Introduction. I’m a professor @ the intersections of #EthnicStudies, #LatinxStudies, & social sciences (especially @sociology). I spend a lot of time thinking about #racial measurement, #Latinx classification, #racialstratification & #colorism; ideas recently banned in red states. Also a #criticalresearcher & advocate for #HSIs. Hobby-wise, I’m collecting #vintage baseball cards, especially of #Latino and #Black players. So, if your grandparents gave you a box of old cards, hit me up :).
