Miguel Martinez is a PhD candidate at Duke University in the Political Science Department and 2023-2024 Global Justice and Equity Fellow at the John Hope Franklin Center. His research largely focuses on the historical ideological foundations of Mexican immigrant racial attitudes and how it influences their political behavior and opinions.

This week, he spoke at the John Hope Franklin Center’s ‘Wednesdays at the Center’ series with his lecture ‘Theorizing Mexican Immigrant Racial Attitudes through an Ideological Lens’. In this talk, he sought to provide insight into how dominant racial ideologies in Mexico and the U.S. respectively show up in Mexican immigrant racial attitudes and politics through the results of a qualitative study. The event was co-sponsored by JHFC Global Equity and Justice Fellowship.
