From Dissertation in Progress
10/6/2014
Trying to come with a very synthetic and succinct statement for my dissertation. For the elevator pitch. Here is one:
I am looking at how latino/hispanic immigrant youth with mexican origin growing up in Austin, TX, use media to navigate many sociocultural worlds, contexts, spaces. How they do their identity work, negotiate their fluid identities (multiple), local belonging, and connections broader figured worlds.
IS the notion of assimilation trajectories useful for explaining their navigation of different contexts?

The borders hispanic/latino youth cross are not only the ones of nations, they keep crossing borders in their everyday life as they navigate different sociocultural worlds, contexts, and spaces.
