Roberto F. Carlos is a scholar of race, ethnicity, and politics, with a particular interest in Latinx politics, immigration, political behavior, and socialization.

His research agenda focuses broadly on the Latinx immigrant experience. I am currently examining how Latinx immigrants and their children incorporate politically, and how political institutions and the American public respond to their efforts to create a place for themselves in the United States.

Carlos’s forthcoming book with the University of Chicago Press, titled “Information Brokers: Political Socialization in Latino Immigrant Families,” is scheduled for May 2026.
