Like everyone else, I've spent way too much time this year reading and thinking and talking about Donald J. Trump, and trying to put him in societal and political context. So it's great to have the opportunity to speak on Trump, the Latino vote, and more. Thanks to Chip Turner for bringing me to Seattle!…

In March, I participated in a terrific panel at the CUNY Graduate Center, as part of the "Conversations on Race and Other Diversities" series, moderated by the legendary Johnnetta B. Cole and including Wade Davis, Vivian May, and Arun Venugopal. Some extremely smart and provocative insights. Here's the video:  

I had no advance warning of Melissa Harris-Perry abruptly ending; I learned about it like everyone else, in articles and emails and posts. Was startling to realize that my last appearance on the show (clips here and here) was Melissa's penultimate broadcast on MSNBC. Regardless of how everything came to an end, I will truly miss…

So I was on Melissa Harris-Perry on December 12, as part of a good discussion about Islamophobia, and a comment of mine upset Bill O'Reilly, leading to a swarm of hate-tweets and emails. Breitbart had singled out something I said for a brief article only hours after the show aired, and The O'Reilly Factor picked…

Often, when a scholar visits a campus, the sponsoring department or center designs a flyer or poster to catch the eye of anyone potentially interested in the topic. But they're rarely as colorful or as content-rich as this poster for my upcoming talk at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Fantastic.

Was happy to join some terrific colleagues, from a range of colleges, in contributing to Stephen Nuño's NBC News article offering counsel to first-year Latino students.     

Was honored—am honored—to participate in a just-posted Crooked Timber online seminar discussing Danielle Allen’s recent book Our Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality. Accompanying a series of critical essays by Heather Gerken, Chris Lebron, James Miller, and others are Danielle's responses and a growing stream of thoughtful reader comments. My…

Beyond appearing on the always-engaging Melissa Harris-Perry, have been doing more MSNBC as of late—in particular, had the pleasure (and anxiety) of being on NOW with Alex Wagner and All in with Chris Hayes, my first-ever weekday TV appearances. Not sure how often I'll have the opportunity to be Chuck Todd-adjacent in the future, but…

Thrilled to finally see my article “Undocumented, Unafraid, and Unapologetic: DREAM Activists, Immigrant Politics, and the Queering of Democracy” appear in From Voice to Influence: Understanding Citizenship in a Digital Age (University of Chicago Press), edited by Danielle Allen and Jennifer S. Light. It's an extended version of my article in Contemporary Latina/o Media, so…

Had the pleasure of spending a Saturday morning in February on Melissa Harris-Perry chattingwith the brilliant Jelani Cobb and others. Was in the segments "Public transportation barriers help maintain inequality" (I speak at 7:15), "The Class of 2016, GOP style" (on at 5:10), and "Rand Paul makes news on nomination of Loretta Lynch" (on at…
