Christopher Maggio

Hello, I'm Christopher Maggio, a sociologist with a focus on race and immigration. I earned my Ph.D. in Sociology from the Graduate Center at City University of New York. Currently. I was a Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science for the 2021-2022 academic year. I currently serve as a Visiting Assistant Professor in Criminology, Law and Justice at the University of Illinois Chicago.

My research explores racial demographic shifts at the local level and their influence on voting patterns, immigration perspectives, and perceptions of racism. My more recent work explores the racial hierarchy in immigration attitudes and public sentiment on the concept of 'open borders.'

I'm presently engaged in a research project that investigates global migration aspirations, with a special emphasis on the phenomenon of immobility. My work has been published in journals such as Ethnic and Racial Studies, Social Science Research, and Sociological Perspectives.

Feel free to explore my publications and current projects. I'm open for academic collaborations and media inquiries.
