Vilna Bashi Treitler creates and teaches scholarship that analyzes how group membership affects the life chances of its members, particularly as groups are incorporated into local and global socioeconomic structures like labor markets or racial hierarchies. She has used both qualitative and quantitative methods in her ongoing studies of international migration and race/ethnicity. Her book Survival of the Knitted: Immigrant Social Networks in a Stratified World (Stanford, 2007) provides a model of immigrant networks and shows how networks shaped the socioeconomic adaptation of black Caribbean migrants to New York and London. Dr. Treitler holds graduate degrees in Sociology (with specializations in Sociology of Economic Change, and Demography), Economics, and International Affairs, and she had been awarded Fellowships from the Mellon and Ford Foundations for her research. Newer projects on which she works includes a selected ethnic history of the United States that explains how ethnic groups in the United States are racialized, and a separate study, funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, on the racialization of immigrant children in families racially blended through international adoption.
