Daisy Hernández

Daisy Hernández, associate professor and author exploring immigration and belonging. She traces her family’s immigration stories, treats citizenship as a social myth, and links U.S. policy to migration. She discusses criminalization, healthcare fears, movements that expand belonging, and how Buddhist practice and Thich Nhat Hanh help her cope with political despair.

Daisy Hernández, journalist and creative writing professor who writes on immigration and Latino life, challenges the idea that citizenship is stable or fair. She explores how citizenship shapes access, global mobility, investor visas, denaturalization, and unequal protections across states and territories. She also reflects on personal moments and suggests rethinking belonging toward neighborly solidarity.
