Anna Ochoa O'Leary, Ph.D.

Professor

Department Head, Mexican American Studies.

 
My research currently focuses on immigration, the feminization of migration, and the culture and urban politics of Mexican/U.S.-Mexican populations in the U.S.-Mexico border region. Her Fulbright research investigated migrant women’s encounters with immigration enforcement agents. She was Co-Principle investigator (2010-2014) on a project researching how medical examiners and other officials develop protocols for identifying, counting, and examine the remains of human remains of presumed undocumented border crossers in 44 counties along the U.S.-Mexico border.
