Zaire Dinzey-Flores is an Assistant Professor of Sociology and Latino and Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University. Her research focuses on understanding how urban neighborhood spaces mediate community life and social inequality. Her book, Locked In, Locked Out: Gated Communities in a Puerto Rican City (University Of Pennsylvania Press: 2013) examines race and class inequality as they are materialized through community gates in private and public housing. She is currently at work on a new project that examines how race and class are enacted in home and neighborhood renovations in New York City.

Kathleen López is an Assistant Professor of History and Latino and Hispanic Caribbean Studies at Rutgers University.
