Doctoral Dissertation Research: Interracial Conduct in an Integrated Neighborhood

本项目旨在观察和分析一个综合社区中三个种族和民族群体之间和内部的社会互动。通过关注综合社区中的社会关系，我们超越了使用隔离指数（如相异性指数）的传统隔离研究。此外，本研究探讨了如何社会距离的概念，突出了群体之间的社会互动，可以解释的数量和质量的黑人，白色，和拉丁美洲居民之间的遭遇。本项目将通过记录和询问社区居民的态度、行为和关系来评估一个综合社区的社会环境。这些数据将通过社区观察、对居民的深入访谈和社区范围的调查来收集。最后，将使用修改的扎根理论分析数据，这是一个使用数据和现有理论来发展概念和新理论的过程（Charmaz 2006）。拟议的分析解决了种族隔离研究的两个主要局限性：两个群体的比较（例如黑人-白人）和基于人口普查数据的分析（Ellen，1998年）。 本研究透过研究设计，在一个综合性社区中研究邻里生活，突显出跨城市比较中所缺乏的一个元素：人。 此外，由于这项研究是在拉丁美洲移民的新目的地进行的，它强调了最近移民的拉丁美洲人的经验（Parrado和Flippen 2005）。 拉丁裔居民如何被他们的邻居纳入和理解，以及移民如何理解他们自己在这个社区的经历是特别感兴趣的。 最近拉丁美洲移民的到来提供了一个机会，看看一个现有种族动态的地区如何适应一个新群体的引入（Kim 1999）。 此外，达勒姆的人口从一个双种族城市转变为一个多种族城市，与其他不断发展的美国城市的人口变化平行。 研究这种经验对于了解这个国家的移民和种族隔离的未来至关重要（Hirschman和Massey 2008：3）。 最后，联邦方案，如HOPE VI，一个促进混合收入社区的公共和印第安人住房方案，遵循了关于融合的社会学研究的传统（美国住房和城市发展部的《家庭和社区》;威尔逊，1987年），并可能受益于拟议项目的调查结果。更广泛的影响。该项目将提供有关综合社区社会生活的新的和与政策有关的信息。

SES-1129278Eduardo Bonnila-SilvaSarah MayorgaDuke UniversityABSTRACTThis project aims to observe and analyze social interaction between and within three racial and ethnic groups in an integrated neighborhood. By focusing on social relationships in an integrated neighborhood, we move beyond traditional studies of segregation research that use segregation indices, such as the dissimilarity index. Additionally, this study examines how the concept of social distance, which highlights social interaction between groups, may explain the quantity and quality of encounters between black, white, and Latino residents. This project will assess the social environment of an integrated neighborhood by documenting and questioning the attitudes, behaviors, and relationships of neighborhood residents. These data will be collected through neighborhood observations, in-depth interviews with residents, and a neighborhood-wide survey. Lastly, data will be analyzed using modified grounded theory, a process that uses data and existing theory to develop concepts and new theories (Charmaz 2006). The proposed analysis addresses two major limitations of segregation research: two group comparisons (e.g. black-white) and Census data-based analyses (Ellen 1998). By studying neighborhood life in an integrated neighborhood through the proposed research design, this study highlights an element absent from cross-city comparisons: people. Furthermore, since this research is taking place in a new destination for Latino migration, it emphasizes the experience of recently migrated Latinos (Parrado and Flippen 2005). How Latino residents are incorporated and understood by their neighbors, as well as how migrants understand their own experiences inside this neighborhood are of particular interest. The recent arrival of Latin American migrants provides an opportunity to see how an area with an existing racial dynamic adjusts to the introduction of a new group (Kim 1999). Additionally, Durham's population shifts from a biracial to a multi-ethnic city parallel demographic changes in other growing American cities. Studying this experience is essential to understanding the future of immigration and segregation in this country (Hirschman and Massey 2008:3). Lastly, Federal programs like HOPE VI, a Public and Indian Housing program promoting mixed-income communities, follow in the tradition of sociological research on integration (US Department of Housing and Urban Development's Home and Communities; Wilson 1987) and may benefit from the proposed project's findings. Broader Impact. This project will provide new and policy-relevant information on social life in an integrated neighborhood.
