Bio

Jesús Cisneros brings his knowledge of higher education research and practice to highlight the intersection of education and immigration. His research moves gender, sexuality, and immigration status, and their conceptual margins, to the center of analysis in an effort to explore and understand the way politics and identity interact with various axes of inequality. He obtained a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from New Mexico State University; a master's degree in Higher Education Administration from Texas A&M University; and a doctoral degree in Educational Policy and Evaluation from Arizona State University.
