Carlos Santana
Undergraduate Research Apprentice
Carlos is a first-generation Latinx student at UC Berkeley in his second year, and comes from the California Central Valley. He is double majoring in Political Science and Chicanx Latinx Studies. He is interested in attending law school, with an interest in immigration law. Through his work on the Democracy + Media Lab Project, he hopes to research immigration patterns in the U.S.-Mexico border region, and U.S. perceptions of immigrants coming from Latin America. His hope is to advocate for a more inclusive model of democracy that acknowledges different perspectives.
