Doctoral Dissertation Research: Immigrants and the New York City Garment Industry

9400710 Gans博士论文研究改进资助项目。这是一项关于女性移民和纽约市服装业的研究，对两种类型的缝纫店进行了比较研究：雇用同种族的中国人和雇用拉丁裔的韩国人。这将有可能概括种族、民族和性别的更广泛类别，以及这些类别如何与纽约市经济的更大经济结构相关联。参与者观察和访谈将进行，以了解不同的移民如何获得工作，为什么特定群体有机会获得某些工作，以及种族如何可能或可能不被用作一种资源。这项研究将有助于移民社会学、少数民族社会学和城市职业社会学。它涉及种族经济适应的社会学理论，这是基于经济结构调整，社会网络和种族继承的概念。除了研究取得的科学成果外，该奖项还将极大地帮助极有前途的学生完成博士论文的研究。有利于培养国家未来的科学人才，有利于培养下一代社会科学家。＊＊＊

9400710 Gans This is an award under the Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research Program. It is a study of women immigrants and the New York City garment industry, employing comparative research on two types of sewing shops: those of the Chinese who hire co-ethnics and those of the Koreans who hire Latinos. This will make possible generalizations about the broader categories of race, ethnicity, and gender, and how these categories relate to the larger economic structure of the New York City economy. Participant observation and interviews will be conducted to understand how different immigrants gain jobs, why particular groups have access to certain jobs, and how ethnicity may or may not be used as a resource. %%% This research will contribute to the sociology of immigration, of ethnic groups, and of urban careers. It addresses sociological theories of racial-economic adaptation, that are based on concepts of economic restructuring, social networks, and ethnic succession. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a highly promising student in completing research for the Ph.D. dissertation. Thus it contributes to the future scientific manpower of the nation and the thorough training of the next generation of social scientists. ***
