Current Research
Currently extending my research on Mexican American children in Denver, Colorado, and border regions along Texas. I am interested to see if children from different geographical regions, and socio-economic status would provide similar results with children in North and North Central Texas. I am also working on articles covering Mixed Methods Research Designs and Symbolic Interaction.
