Dr. David Trouille is an Associate Professor of Sociology at JMU. He specializes in qualitative methods and his research examines issues pertaining to international migration, labor, community, and leisure. He is completing a new ethnographic project on H-2A agricultural guest workers in Virginia. This research reflects a growing concern with the need to better understand where our food comes from and who produces it and sheds important light on the social and political implications of temporary labor on both sides of the US-Mexico border.
