UC Collaborative to Promote Immigrant and Student Equity
UC PromISE is dedicated to fostering cutting-edge research on immigrant “illegality.” It focuses on how current immigration policies have exacerbated legal vulnerabilities among undocumented students and expanded collateral consequences to U.S. citizen students with undocumented parents. As part of this initiative, Dr. Enriquez led a survey and interviews with immigration-impacted UC students.

Becoming Doctoras
This collaboration with Gilda Ochoa and Vilma Ortiz uses storytelling, poetry, and testimonio to explore the experiences of Latina doctoral students. We examine how hegemonic institutions undermine their strengths and how the doctoras navigate their pathway to the PhD.
