Ten Years after DACA: How the Program has Impacted the Employment Outcomes of Young Undocumented Migrants

Dr. Camila Morales studies the impact of immigration policies on the labor market outcomes of young adults, as well as the efficacy of school level programs and peer interactions on the academic achievement of immigrants/refugees and English learners. Dr. Morales, a professor at University of Texas at Dallas, received her PhD in Economics from Georgia State University. She was recently awarded an early career fellowship with Northwestern University’s Center for Education Efficacy, Excellence, and Equity (E4 ). This programming is co-sponsored by the Department of Economics and the Martin Luther King, Jr.; César Chávez; Rosa Parks (KCP) Visiting Professors Program through the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
