Gilberto Rosas is an assistant professor of anthropology and Latina/o Studies at UIUC. He holds a doctorate in Anthropology from the University of Texas. His first project concerns the production of criminality among a population of street youth in Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora in the context of a seeming paradox:  vast undocumented border crossings and intensified militarized border policing. His new project will track the transnational effects of the immigrant rights social movements. He has published in Aztlán, La Jornada, Latino Studies, and Social Text, among others . He is also the co-editor of a volume of Cultural Dynamics on Post-9/11 policing and empire.
