Cabrera's dissertation project investigates 1). What kind of social selves can emerge in the context of increasingly public-private universities and diversity projects? 2). What kind of social selves emerge for these undocumented youth post-graduation as they live and work in the migrant city? 3). What processes shape experiences, belonging, and social selves for undocumented persons and how these experiences differ based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class?
