Edward Orozco Flores

I am an associate professor of sociology, and faculty director of the Community and Labor Center, at the University of California Merced.

My areas of expertise include labor, immigration, religion, and race. I am author of two academic books and multiple journal articles, and my research and public service has been recognized by the American Sociological Association.

My work with the Community and Labor Center has been cited in the Guardian, New York Times, Sacramento Bee and other media outlets. My research has informed the development, passage and implementation of several major state, national and international labor policies.
