Lisa García Bedolla's research interests center around the civic engagement, community activity, and political incorporation of racial/ethnic groups in the United States, with a particular focus on the intersection of race, class, and gender. This interest has led her to engage in an in-depth ethnographic study of Latina/o civic engagement in two southern California communities, a large-scale experimental study of voter education and mobilization in central and southern California, and a longitudinal exploration of the civic engagement of immigrant youth in California.
She is author of Fluid Borders: Latino Power, Identity, and Politics in Los Angeles (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2005) which won the American Political Science Association's Ralph Bunche Award for the best book in political science on ethnic and cultural pluralism and a best book award from the American Political Science Association's Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Section, and of Latino Politics (London: Polity, forthcoming 2009). Her articles have appeared in the Journal of Politics, Politics and Gender, Latino Studies, the Harvard Journal of Hispanic Policy, State Politics and Policy Quarterly, Social Science Quarterly, and in numerous edited volumes. She has received fellowships and grants from the National Science Foundation, UCLA's Institute of American Cultures, the James Irvine Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation, the Huntington Library, and the American Political Science Association.
