Dr.
Marta M. Maldonado
(Ph.D., Washington State University) Dr. Maldonado's research interests include
political economy, the sociology of inequality (in particular, the dynamics
of race, gender and class), communities, environmental sociology, and the sociology
of technology. Pertaining to Latinos/as, her recent research has examined the
Mexicanization of agricultural labor in the Pacific Northwest, the racialization
of technology, and the everyday production of environmental inequalities in
agricultural workplaces, which often involves the disproportionate exposure
of Latino/a workers to environmental hazards and other workplace risks.
