Salvador Rangel is an Assistant Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology at Swarthmore College. His previous hands-on experience as an undocumented migrant worker, who labored in the construction and industrial sectors for many years, animates and informs his current research agenda. His book manuscript, “La Jungla: Globalization, Transnational Migrant Labor, and the Meatpacking Industry,” combines ethnographic methodology with macro-level analysis of the changing conditions of work under global capitalism. His research and teaching areas include globalization, race, migration, and the production of migrant illegality. Salvador is strong advocate of public sociology and regularly publishes in mass media outlets, such as Truthout and Telesur, with the goal of making his research accessible to a broader public.
