Amaresh, Gámez and Lee on Exploring Latinx Undergraduate Research Experiences

Hopkins Press Podcast 3.3 Promotional Tile

All through 2024, one of the most-read articles across all of the Hopkins Press journals has been "Exploring Undergraduate Research Experiences For Latinx College Students From Farmworker Families", published in the January-February 2022 issue of Journal of College Student Development. We talk with three authors of this multidisclipinary team—Sneha Amaresh, Raúl Gámez, and Joseph Lee—to explore more deeply the background of this popular study that looks at ways academic research can be strengthened through inclusivity.

This article is free to read through the month of September: muse.jhu.edu/article/853534

Sneha Amaresh is currently pursuing her Master of Public Health at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, in Atlanta, Georgia. She holds a bachelor's degree in public health from East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. With a strong passion for qualitative research, Sneha focuses on the social determinants of health, environmental health, and social justice.

Raúl Gámez is a Ph.D. candidate in higher education at the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education, University of Michigan. Raúl’s research focuses on understanding diversity, equity, and inclusion as organizational processes with the potential for transforming higher education institutions into more equitable, inclusive, and just organizations. He earned an MA in higher education administration at the University of Michigan and a BA in theatre arts and translation and interpretation studies from California State University, Long Beach. Before enrolling in graduate school, Raúl worked with migrant and immigrant youth in North Carolina using theatre and arts as tools for leadership development. He also coordinated a statewide coalition focused on increasing college access for undocumented students.

Joseph G. L. Lee, PhD, MPH, is the McGee Professor of Health Education and Promotion at East Carolina University (ECU) and the Associate Dean for Research at ECU College of Health and Human Performance. His research seeks to document, understand, and reduce unfairness in health by building evidence for policy interventions that make a difference. Lee focuses this work in three areas: the health of young people at risk of tobacco use; the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people; and the health of farmworkers and farmworker families. Much of his work is centered in eastern North Carolina at East Carolina University's Department of Health Education and Health Promotion.
