Sociology Professor Chad Farrell publishes research on immigration and America's changing demographic mosaic
by Michelle Saport |
Chad Farrell, Ph.D., faculty member in the UAA Department of Sociology, has co-authored a chapter in a new Russell Sage Foundation book titled Diversity and Disparities: America Enters a New Century. The book features leading social scientists from many disciplines, who analyze changes in America's labor markets, family structures, immigration flows and racial composition. Farrell, along with Penn State colleagues Barrett Lee and John Iceland, wrote the book's concluding chapter, titled "Is Ethnoracial Residential Integration on the Rise? Evidence from Metropolitan and Micropolitan America Since 1980." Russell Sage is offering Diversity and Disparities as a free ebook available for download on its website.
Professor Farrell has also authored an article forthcoming in the international journal Urban Studies. Titled "Immigrant Suburbanization and the Shifting Geographic Structure of Metropolitan Segregation in the United States," this research investigates the changing settlement patterns of 17 immigrant groups as they became more suburbanized over the past decade.
