DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lise Nelson \nProfessor \nUniversity of Arizona \nSchool of
  Geography & Development \n\nAbstract:\nOver the last three decades\, domes
 tic amenity or “lifestyle” migration has stimulated a process of rural gent
 rification across the United States\, shifting landscapes of production to 
 landscapes of consumption--from Jackson Hole\, Wyoming to Highlands\, North
  Carolina. My research investigates an under-appreciated dimension of rural
  gentrification: the recruitment of low-wage\, mostly undocumented Latine i
 mmigrant workers essential to building and maintaining gentrifying landscap
 es and lifestyles. The talk at UC Boulder focuses on the emergence and cons
 olidation of immigrant-based labor regimes in two case study communities be
 tween the late 1990s and late 2000s\, Steamboat Springs\, CO and Rabun Coun
 ty\, GA\, exploring qualitative data that illustrate how and why employers 
 in gentrification-linked sectors recruited an unfamiliar labor force. I tra
 ce how\, over time\, employers transformed their business model to reach ne
 w levels of profitability predicated on access to racially marked\, “illega
 l” workers. I also discuss how these racialized labor regimes shaped life a
 nd work for immigrant newcomers navigating rural landscapes of affluence.
