Elizabeth Chacko and Marie Price, professors of geography and international affairs, co-authored the book, “(Un)Settled Sojourners in Cities: Challenges of ‘Temporariness’ among Migrants and Asylum Seekers.” This book discusses the rights, lived experiences and trajectories of temporary migrants. 

Price's work focuses on the Americas and her interests are in how cities and civil society respond to immigrants as well as how immigrants influence these localities through their agency and networks. Chacko has conducted research in the United States, India, Ethiopia and Singapore on the flows of people, capital and ideas and their impacts on economic, cultural and social geographies in cities.
