After the meetings of the CLRN in Austin it has become clear to me that the only way in which I will become more engaged with my dissertation and finally be able finish the proposal, and to actually enjoy my writing is by reducing my focus and address perhaps two or three themes that bring together the different chapters/articles.

Identity construction, flow, flux, and creativity and agency can be the them that crosses the settings I am analyzing: family, afterschool, and social network sites. Understanding how these youth develop their personal identities across this settings and how they deal with issues of biculturalism and assimilation to american society could be productive.

After the meetings of the CLRN in Austin it has become clear to me that the only way in which I will become more engaged with my dissertation and finally be able finish the proposal, and to actually enjoy my writing is by reducing my focus and address perhaps two or three themes that bring together the different chapters/articles. It is also clear to me that I really don't want to homogenize the population I am speaking and although I will recognize issues of inequality and stratification in society, I need to focus more on the specific case studies and personal stories of the latino/hispanic teens from my study. Identity construction, flow, flux, and creativity and agency can be the them that crosses the settings I am analyzing: family, afterschool, and social network sites. Understanding how these youth develop their personal identities across this settings and how they deal with issues of biculturalism and assimilation to american society could be productive.

Tracing identity flows, changes across different sites. Understanding the kind of identity work, articulation,that latino/hispanic youth develops across different sites and they different media practices. Perhaps if I just focus on identity and perhaps also talking about new media literacies I would be able to elaborate a nice argument around creativity, agency, new media practices among latino/hispanic youth. How do they navigate the two worlds of their parents country of origin and the USA. And furthermore, how do they navigate the online and the interconnected world of social media and social networked sites.
