Professor Hernandez's areas of interest include work organization, social movements, and Latin America (particularly Mexico). She offers the following courses: Social Movements, Alternative Organization of Work, Sociology of Development, and Sociology of Race and Ethnicity. Most of the courses sustain an international approach.  Professor Hernandez's current research explores the organization of work at a worker-owned industrial factory in Mexico, and union collaboration across the US - Mexico border.

Professor Hernandez was recently awarded a 2008-09 Fulbright Fellowship. Through the researcher/lecturer grant, she will teach a course in the areas of work organization, social movements or labor studies at the Universidad de Guadalajara in Mexico. She also will conduct research exploring the changing relationship between Mexican and American labor unions, identifying the factors that facilitate and prevent their collaboration.
