Dr. Nancy Plankey-Videla is a community-engaged scholar working in the areas of migration, deportability, deportation, and return. Her experience of exile from Chile and growing up as an outsider in Mexico and the U.S., provided her with a unique sensibility and solidarity with the immigrant communities she works with. Collaborating closely with non-profit organizations, she examines the effect of deportation and coerced return from the U.S. to Mexico, and the effect of immigration policy and anti-immigrant rhetoric on Latine mixed-status families and day laborers in Texas. Her research has been the catalyst for legal clinics to provide immigrant parents with power of attorney documents in case of detention or deportation, anti-wage theft campaigns, and the establishment of a worker center. Her leadership in the American Sociological Association’s Sociology Action Network helped develop professional guidelines for taking community-engaged scholarship into account in promotion and tenure processes. Her earlier work on the empowerment of Mexican women garment workers, We Are in This Dance Together, garnered multiple book awards. Her work is published in Social Forces, Social Problems, Ethnicities, American Behavioral Scientist, and Columbia Human Rights Law Review, among others. She is Associate Professor of Sociology and Director of the Latina/o and Mexican American Studies at Texas A&M University.
