Latinos, Health, and Proximal Contact: This talk will focus on the mechanisms in which knowing an undocumented immigrant is impacting the health and wellbeing of Latinos in the US.

 

Edward Vargas' primary areas of interest are the effects of poverty and inequality on the quality of life, focusing specifically on health, immigration status and social policy, and how these factors contribute to the well-being of vulnerable families. In addition, poverty and inequality are strongly tied to race and ethnicity; thus, he is also interested in the methodological issues involved in the quantitative study of race and ethnicity.
