Luis Flores is a recent doctoral graduate in sociology from the University of Michigan, and incoming Assistant Professor of Sociology at UC Berkeley (Fall 2025). Drawing on historical methods, his research examines the regulatory politics at the boundary of home and market, shaping the extent to which homes can serve as sites of production, exchange, and speculation. His previous work examined how early American zoning laws shaped wealth and labor dynamics through the separation of home and market. His current research turns to the contentious blurring of home and market in the post-industrial present. As a Stone Postdoctoral Fellow, Luis is expanding his dissertation, The Regulatory Politics of Home-Based Moneymaking After the American Family Wage, into a book manuscript. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the American Sociological Association (ASA), and received awards from four ASA sections.
