Christina Gómez is a Professor in the Department of Liberal Arts at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) and Visiting Professor at Dartmouth College (summers). Methodologically, she is interested in narrative inquiry and how individuals tell their own story about who they are and how they create meaning in their lives. Her research focuses on race relations, discrimination, and immigration. Her books, Mi Voz, Mi Vida: Latino College Students Tell Their Stories and Mixed: Multiracial College Students Tell Their Life Stories are edited anthologies of essays written by students that blend personal, anecdotal, political, and cultural viewpoints. She has published numerous articles on Latino identity, education, skin color and discrimination. She received an MBA from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business and her Ph.D. in sociology from Harvard University. Her current research examines undocumented university students in the Chicago-land area.
