Research Interests
Dr. Martinez's research interests are in the areas of race and ethnic relations, U.S. Latinas/os/xs, immigration, religion, and the sociology of space and place. He is particularly interested in the social construction of place and how everyday placemaking processes are informed by intergroup relations, meaning-making, and broader social structures. Dr. Martinez’s recent publications have explored the role of place attachment and threat in placemaking, the use of religious symbols and meanings in the immigrant rights movement, and how religious institutions facilitate undocumented immigrant incorporation in the United States. He is currently working on two projects. One is a book which explores Latina/o/x suburban residential integration through the dimensions of local politics, religious institutions, and community-based events. The second project is a National Science Foundation funded study (in collaboration with Phillip Vargas, City Colleges of Chicago) that explores community STEM students’ induction, persistence, and post community college trajectories. Using an asset-based approach, the study examines how cultural wealth and institutional supports shape STEM students’ educational and career trajectories.

As an educator, Dr. Martinez believes sociology is rewarding, applicable, and empowering. He challenges students to develop their sociological imagination and critical thinking skills so they have the tools to be informed, engaged, and empowered global citizens to make positive social changes in their own lives as well as the lives of others. As a first generation college student and former community college student, Dr. Martinez is especially interested in supporting first year college undergraduates and transfer students in cultivating basic and applied research skills. Students interested in pursuing a sociology degree at NEIU as well as collaborating on research are strongly encouraged to contact him.

Background

Originally from El Paso, Texas, hornist Anna Mayne, joined the 91Porn faculty in January of 2012. She is a member of the South Bend and Illinois Symphonies, and actively freelances throughout the tri-state area.

An avid chamber musician, she has been a member of the CINCO Brass Quintet since 1998. As a member of CINCO, Ms. Mayne was a semi-finalist at the Carmel, Coleman, and Fischoff National Chamber Music Competitions. In 2003, CINCO was the first ensemble to be invited to take part in the Chicago Chamber Musicians (CCM) Professional Development Program which partnered CINCO with members of CCM on several subscription concerts and live radio broadcasts on WFMT (98.7). CINCO has performed all over Chicago, most notably at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, the Shakespeare Theater at Navy Pier, the Rush Hour Concert Series at St. James Cathedral, and the Dame Myra Hess Concert Series at the Chicago Cultural Center. 

Ms. Mayne’s principal teachers include William Barnewitz, Dale Clevenger, Robert Ward, and Gail Williams. She received fellowships to attend the Colorado College Summer Chamber Music Festival; the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival; and the Aspen Music Festival.

Her playing has been critically acclaimed, and she can be heard on several recording labels, including the Arsis label and most notably on Albany Records with the Houston Grand Opera and the New Black Music Repertory Ensemble. In addition to her busy performance schedule, she maintains private horn studios throughout the Chicagoland area.

Research Interests
Mendoza’s current research is rooted in Rasquachismo, an attitude and a sensibility, and secondarily a set of formal art qualities. His use of appropriated materials which are borrowed from a day-to-day context, he presents everyday objects as well as references to texts, paintings and drawings. Pompous writings and Utopian constructivist designs are juxtaposed with the trivial awkwardness of frustration, sexual desires, and archaic tropes that demonstrate how the self and other extend beyond their own subjective limits, cannibal versus civilized selves.

My research examines intimate partner violence in the relationships of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people (LGBTQ+ IPV), with an emphasis on prevalence, risk factors, dynamics, and help-seeking barriers. In addition to several dozen journal articles and book chapters, I have published two books – Transgender Intimate Partner Violence: A Comprehensive Introduction (Eds. Messinger & Guadalupe-Diaz, 2020, New York University Press) and LGBTQ Intimate Partner Violence: Lessons for Policy, Practice, and Research (Messinger, 2017, University of California Press) – which together offer a comprehensive overview of the LGBTQ+ IPV research literature, and which provide evidence-based tips for improving service provision and public policy.
