  • Race- gender experience- focuses on race and gender for analysis. It includes race gender experiences, which are the social interactions that one will have within a social sphere, as well as race gender outlooks, which are the life perspectives and attitudes towards how social mobility is obtained.
  • Ethnicity Paradigm- focuses on whether or not the cultural characteristics of an immigrant group helped or hindered their process of becoming "American" (Lopez p.3, 2003)

  • The more broad research goal that Lopez had was to find out some of the reasons behind the gender gap that has been evident in education.
  • Lopez's goal was to find out why there were certain differences in the educational opportunities and aspirations between men and women from second generation immigrant families, specifically in New York City.

  • Critical theory lies within Lopez's research ; critical theory tends to critique historical and structural conditions of oppression and seeks to transform the conditions (Glesne p.10, 2016)
  • Critical theory is led by the historical realism ontology and it states that life is essentially a virtual reality that is shaped by social, political, cultural, economic, ethnic, and gender values crystallized over time. (Glesne p.10, 2016)
  • Lopez's research focuses on all of these aspects through the use of the race-gender paradigm as they all have an effect on the ways in which one might go through life and their views in regards to the attainment of social mobility.

  • Lopez chose to include several research questions, all of which center around the specific impacts of race and gender on the experiences and outlooks of the people included in her study.
  • How is the second generation racialized and gendered? 
  • How do they experience race and gender in daily life?
  • How do racialized and gendered experiences shape life perspectives?
  • How do race-gender experiences in public spaces differ for men and women?
  • How do formal and informal institutional practives within schools "race" and "gender" students?
  • How do family life and gender roles influence how young men and women view the role of education?
    • (Lopez p.4, 2003)

  • Lopez used the race gender experience paradigm as well as the ethnicity paradigm in order to complete her research. She also had a personal connection to the research, as she was a second generation immigrant as well, and this helped her to connect with those involved in the study as well. 
  • For quantitative data collection, Lopez provided a survey, but the qualitative data provided much more detail and context to the numerical information.
  • For qualitative data,  Lopez conducted focus groups and life history interviews over a 2 year period, which were both recorded and transcribed, and also did a participant observation at Urban High School for 6 months.
