Researcher street race-gender in qualitative field work
The assumption of shared racial and gendered identities with respondents can lead researchers to overlook many of the internal hierarchies that exist within those shared identities, and to reproduce the power dynamics embedded within those hierarchies throughout the research process. In this article, we propose researcher street-race gender as a reflexive framework for researchers to better interrogate how perceived race and gender shape their re…
Transfronterizo Families at the San Diego–Tijuana Border: Complicating Theories of Family, Migration, and Mobility
Transborder or transfronterizo families straddle borders, living their daily lives across nations and commuting across international borders. This article draws on the case of transfronterizo family life at the San Diego, California–Tijuana, Baja California border. Based on existing scholarship, emerging transnational policies, and our own experiences growing up in the San Diego–Tijuana borderland, we suggest a distinction between the form of tra…

Drawing from 57 in-depth interviews, we found that participants approach the American Dream with cautious optimism-they believe in the American Dream, bu…
Feminist ethnoracial entrepreneurship among Latina elite and middle‐class entrepreneurs

Latina Educators in Sociology: Combating Trumpism with Critical Pedagogy

Under the Trump administration, the United States has witnessed increased rates in harassment, hate crimes, and mass shootings against people of color. Despite the 2020 Presidential Democratic win, the racist ideology that led to Trump’s sway over voters demands that we …
Compounded inequality: How the U.S. Paycheck Protection Program is failing Los Angeles Latino small businesses
The CARES Act, passed in March 2020, included the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) which designated $350-billion for small businesses in the United States. Data shows that small businesses, particularly those owned by Latinos and African Americans, have confronted challenges in accessing PPP funds. At the same time, high profile companies like the LA Lakers have admitted to have received and repaid millions of dollars from the PPP. These large c…
Linking Contexts, Intersectionality, and Generations: Toward a Multidimensional Theory of Millennials and Social Change
While millennials are culturally homogenized as a unitary group, scholarly work has examined the complex historical, economic, and social challenges that shape millennials' heterogeneity. This paper draws on three studies to build on this work, showing how millennials experience and enact social change across different spaces: beauty politics and the natural hair movement, black men shaping new masculinities at work and home, and undocumented stu…
