Alumna Cynthia Feliciano (CAS 1995) Appointed a Russell Sage Foundation Visiting Scholar
Cynthia Feliciano (BA Sociology and Political Science, 1995), Associate Professor of Sociology and Chicano/Latino Studies at the University of California, Irvine, has been appointed a Russell Sage Foundation Visiting Scholar for 2016-17. With her UCI colleague Rubén Rumbaut, Cynthia will work on a book project that investigates the socioeconomic, cultural, and political incorporation of the immigrant second generation, examining their adult transitions during and after the Great Recession. The project is based upon a panel study of respondents that spans a quarter of a century, from their mid-adolescence to middle adulthood, and will examine such factors as family and identity formation, educational and occupational attainment, and political views.
Dr. Feliciano was the 1995 winner of the College Prize for Excellence in Sociology. Congratulations, Cynthia!
