Given the scope of this project and its goal publishing three different articles, I have decided with my dissertation supervisor that the proposal will contain three different mini proposals.

1. Latino Youth, Home Environments and Digital Media

2. Digital Video Community of Practice

3. Social Media and Networked Publics

However, after working in the three different mini-proposals I have realized that they still make sense as a whole. That is, the three different articles together answer the questions about digital youth participation in new media, with the media, and in the media, as well as their identities and practices. The general question of this big project it is still related to the participation that these youth develop in new media and with new media across three different societal fields/contexts/arenas/domains. How does this participation changes depending on the contexts, the different practices and identities, as well as how this participation is constrained by structural inequalities and how that is reflected in the cultural and social capitals that can be mobilized by youth. In sum, this dissertation is a study of the digital media practices of latino youth across three different fields/contexts/arenas, the kind of participation in the media and with the media that takes place, the multiple identities that are articulated, and how they are determined and constrained by structural inequalities. Or even better, how structural inequalities constrain the mobilization and acquisition of cultural and social capitals, and how this fact determines the practices, identities, and participation in the media and through the media.
