International migration is a burgeoning field in sociology, and the UCI's immigration program in sociology ranks among the best in the world. Renowned faculty members work with graduate students on a variety of funded projects, focusing in particular on how immigrants are incorporated into the United States. Through brown-bag seminars at the Center for Research in Immigration, Population, and Public Policy , faculty and students throughout the social sciences share their research. Research is wide-ranging, multi-method, and interdisciplinary. Among the full listing of funded projects are studies of: Intergenerational mobility in metropolitan Los Angeles. This is a three-year, mixed-methods project involving a large-scale survey, in-depth oral histories, and targeted ethnographies. The study examines how the adult offspring of immigrants are faring in terms of education, jobs, living arrangements, ethnic identity, political participation and a host of other indicators of social and economic mobility. Racial and ethnic diversity, intermarriage, and m ultiracial identification, based on interviews with multiracial families and census data.
