Angela Stuesse is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She is broadly interested in social inequality, and she studies and teaches about globalization, structural racism, migration, food production, labor, human rights, social movements, and activist research. Her book, Scratching Out a Living: Latinos, Race, and Work in the Deep South, explores how Latinos' labor migration has transformed the South and impacted efforts to organize for workplace justice. It is based on six years of collaboration with a poultry workers' center in Mississippi, as well as interviews with poultry industry executives, workers and their supporters, and community members of diverse backgrounds. Stuesse's work has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, National Public Radio, The Atlantic, Here and Now, Univision News, and other media outlets. www.AngelaStuesse.com
