My dissertation, “Mental Health and the Effects of Stress and Violence on Immigrant Farmworker Communities during the COVID-19 Pandemic,” examined the direct, structural, and symbolic violence that immigrants experience and how it affects health disparities and their overall mental health. This study was conducted in Central Florida with immigrants and nongovernmental organization workers. I conducted ethnographic research with 38 participants and examined how immigrants living in Central Florida experience violence—physical, psychological, and social—and how this violence affected perceived well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, I explored how state violence was experienced by immigrants and how structural violence perpetuated negative mental health outcomes. My doctoral research shows that immigrants living in Central Florida experienced the pandemic in different ways than other populations based on their prior experiences with multiple forms of violence and trauma, exacerbating existing inequalities. Further, this study demonstrates the need for increased culturally appropriate mental health services. This research was supported through the University of South Florida Anthropology Dissertation Completion Fellowship.
