Sarah A. Blue is an Assistant Professor of Geography at Texas State University.

Her research broadly focuses on how international migration and changes in the

global political economy affect local socio-economic dynamics in Latin America

and the United States. One of her ongoing areas of interest lies in examining

livelihood strategies at the household level in Havana, Cuba, as economic changes

have impacted differentially previously high levels of socio-economic equality. Her

current research in Cuba focuses on medical internationalism and agro-ecology.
