Meylin Gonzales Huamán is a Peruvian doctoral student in the Department of Sociology at Harvard University. She is primarily interested in how minority populations shape and are shaped by different social categories. Her earlier research focused on the co-production of ethnoracial categories from the perspective of street-level bureaucrats in Peru. Her more recent project examines aspects of south-south migration shaping the gender dynamics among Venezuelan families in Peru. Currently, she is developing a project to understand how Latinx families in the US develop and sustain political interests and affiliations in the bipartisan US context.
