Ana Campos-Holland

I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of California at Santa Barbara Fall 2003 with four majors: Anthropology, Chicano/a Studies, Latin American & Iberian Studies, and Sociology. I joined the Sociology Graduate Program at The University of Iowa Fall 2004. Since my arrival, I have been working with Professors Karen Heimer, Maria B. Velez, Michael Sauder, and Kevin Leicht. My main research interest areas are Criminology, Deviance, and Stratification. My current research include projects on (1) parental unconventional behavior (substance use, employment in the illicit drug market, violence, and imprisonment) and its impact on the children, (2) childhood culture, (3) and gender stratification and the economy. My dissertation is a qualitative project on the impact the female immigrant experience has on health risk behaviors among prostitutes in two urban communities.
