Unsettling Refugees: Economic Mobility & Opportunity for Southeast Asian Refugees Facing Deportation
Southeast Asian immigrants are four times more likely to be deported for previous criminal convictions than any other immigrant group.

Sociologist Jennifer Huynh will explore the lived experiences of formerly incarcerated Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Hmong refugees awaiting deportation. She will conduct interviews and community-based participatory research for her study.
