Liesl Gambold: economic and social responses to political and market changes, gender relations in rural communities, and the struggle between individual and group ideologies, especially in the transformations of Eastern Europe. long-term research goals include the further development of her longitudinal study in Central Russia to develop a uniquely in-depth and comprehensive analysis of postsocialist rural culture in transition. Understanding the transition from a communist to a nascent democratic government, and how the subsequent economic, social, and ideological changes manifest in the daily lives of rural inhabitants is a primary interest. Research (2004) in Vietnam will help serve as a comparative base for projects intended to better understand transforming economies and cultures in socialist settings.

Roth, Wendy D.:  Current Research — A study of the social impact of DNA ancestry testing on identity, conceptions of race, and social relations with other ethnic and racial groups.

A comparative study (with Nadia Kim) extending Blumer’s theory of race prejudice as a sense of group position to a transnational frame, examining the cases of the Dominican Republic and South Korea.

Completing a book manuscript on how migration to the mainland U.S. affects the racial identities Dominicans and Puerto Ricans. Where most research focuses solely on migrant outcomes, this project adopts a transnational perspective, using qualitative interviews and ethnography in San Juan, Santo Domingo, and New York City to show how migration simultaneously affects conceptions of race and ethnicity in both sending and receiving societies. The book examines whether emergent racial identities help explain the socioeconomic differences between light- and dark-skinned Puerto Ricans and Dominicans in the mainland U.S.

Wilkes, Rima : Current Research — Residential Segregation — Many people in Canada and to a greater extent, the United States do not live together in ethnically/racially integrated neighborhoods.Furthermore segregation levels vary considerably between cities. Whilesome cities are fairly integrated others are characterized as having defacto apartheid. My research focuses on understanding why segregationlevels vary so much across North American cities.

Protest by First Nations — During recent decades, there have been several hundred instances ofcollective protest undertaken by First Nations. My research seeks toprovide a sociological understanding of these important events as awhole. Among the topics I am investigating are the characteristics ofFirst Nations whose members have or have not protested, whether thereare variations in levels of First Nation protest across regions inCanada, looking at how media coverage of protest by First Nationsvaries by region, and comparing protest in Canada with protest in theUnited States.
