Additional information

Her research focuses on a wide range of immigration issues including undocumented migrants in the United States, the settlement process of immigrants to Australia, and the role of selection criteria in determining labor market outcomes for immigrants. She takes an active interest in policy issues and is currently serving as a consultant to the Australian Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs.

Sherrie A. Kossoudji, who has been a member of the University of Michigan's faculty for twelve years, is presently an associate professor in the School of Social Work, and an adjunct associate professor in the department of economics. Her principal research area is in the field of immigration. In particular, she has written numerous articles on the role of legal status for immigrant workers in the United States, and on the incentives to cross the border illegally. She has also written on welfare reform issues. She was a member of the team that evaluated the impact of Michigan's termination of General Assistance, a cash public assistance program. Much of her work focuses on gender differences in economic outcomes for workers at the margin of society.
