Research Project

The Gendered Immigrant Economy

This project aims to determine if the occupation in which a female immigrant seeks employment affects natives’ attitudes toward her. Using a survey-experimental design, we seek to assess whether the gender-(non)conforming nature of an occupation affects the general attitudes citizens form about her.
