Fallon Marsh

Fallon Marsh is a recent undergraduate student in anthropology, sociology, and political science at the University of Delaware and an upcoming graduate student in applied anthropology. Their research interests include migration and displacement studies in regards to immigration by way of the Mexican-American border, political and legal anthropology, and post-colonial studies relating to economic power dynamics. While an undergraduate at the University of Delaware, Fallon was a part of the “Bordering” and Undocumented Migration Project team located at the university, both of which focused on Latino migration into Delaware and analyzed how both figurative and literal borders are constructed in American society to limit the power of Latino migrants. Fallon’s focus in this research was on wage exploitation and unequal power dynamics experienced by Latino immigrants within the Delaware working culture. In the future, Fallon is determined to dedicate themselves in aiding to the protection of immigrant communities across the United States and contribute to the growing body of researchers already working within this field.
