Biography
Nathan is a PhD candidate in sociology and MS student in statistics at UCLA. He is interested in international migration, inequality, education, and quantitative methods. His work focuses on how the experience of international migration transforms the lives of immigrants and their children. Most of his research has examined the academic outcomes of youths of immigrant background: U.S.-born children of return migrants in Mexico, Eastern Europeans in Western Europe, and children of immigrants in the United Kingdom. In collaborative work he has also studied the migration of immigrants in same-sex couples, deportation worry among Latino immigrants, and the naturalization processes of early 20th-century European immigrants.
