Laura is a PhD candidate in History at Rutgers University, specializing in the migrations, diasporas, and mobilities of 20th-century Latin America and the Caribbean. Her dissertation, 'The Chinese in Colombia: Immigration and Nation-Building in the 20th Century,' explores the Chinese immigrant experience and cultural identity in Colombia from 1903 to 1980, covering the period from the separation of Panama to Colombia’s recognition of One China. Previously, Laura's master's research focused on Arab migration to Barranquilla (Colombia) during the first half of the 20th century. Her research questions address immigration policy, xenophobia and exclusion, identity and representations, and immigrant socialization spaces. Laura holds a M.A. in History and a B.A. in Political Science from Universidad del Norte.
