About
Assistant Professor
Dr. Muchow’s work broadly considers how law and policy affect the lives of minority and immigrant populations. Her research uses quantitative data analysis and applied econometrics to examine the social implications of restrictive immigration policy and the modern leveraging of the criminal justice system to identify, detain, and deport non-citizens. Her dissertation research used theories of social stratification and racial/ethnic inequality to disentangle how enforced exclusions and the criminalization of immigrants stymie integration and jeopardize public safety. She completed her PhD in Policy Analysis in 2019 at the Pardee RAND Graduate School. Her research has been supported by the Jim Lovelace Foundation, the John Randolph Haynes Foundation, and the Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy.
