Current Work
Dr. Iglesias-Rios is one of the lead investigators of the Michigan Farmworker Project (MFP). Developed in 2019, the goal of this community-based participatory research program is to provide a deeper understanding of the complex working and living conditions of migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the state of Michigan. The MFP seeks to examine the occupational and environmental health exposures experienced by farmworkers in Michigan and relate this understanding to broader social and structural determinants such as precarious employment and labor exploitation.
