Teresa Alvarado-Patlán graduated from Dartmouth College in 2019 with a degree in Latin American, Latino, and Caribbean Studies (LALACS) and a minor in French. Her research interests focus on racial immigration policies, specifically after the increased national security threats following the attacks of September 11, 2001. Teresa will be enrolling in a History Ph.D. program at Northwestern University this incoming fall, where she hopes to continue her work and make learning accessible outside of scholarship to communities affected by these immigration and policing strategies.
