Impact Statements

Impact Statement, NCERA_old216 Situation: The Latinx population has increased significantly for several years across the United States and the Census projects it to reach 29 percent by 2060. Labor deficits in agriculture and the service industries tend to be a pull factor of human capital from Latin American countries while lack of employment opportunities tend to be a push factor for families seeking to live lives abundant in economic, educational, and safety opportunities in the United States. Public Value: The United States is a “country of immigrants” long before families from Latin America arrived these past 40 year. The difference appears to rely on who came when. As long as that is the "norm" it becomes necessary for scholars and practitioners to pave the way for newcomers to acclimate and integrate into their communities while receiving communities welcome their “new neighbors”. Through research, we find strategies to integrate newcomers further breaks down barriers to education, economies, employment, and political involvement. Outcomes: Short-Term: Through research, we find ways to understand the realities of Latinx individuals and families. We also find ways to educate mainstream populations about new people in their communities. Evaluation Questions: 1. What do the emerging Latinx populations need to thrive in their receiving communities? 2. Are we gathering data from the populations in their own languages? 3. Do we take our analyzed data to provide foundational logic to the creation of new programming? Medium-Term: In general, follow up examinations of analyzed data demonstrated learning gains in 1) Medical practices with ethnic audiences 2) Positive economic outcomes of assuring access to education for immigrant populations; and 3) Positive social impacts of integrating and acculturating new and growing populations. Long-Term Outcomes: While NCERA 216 scholars continue to discover the impact of our research and practices to integrate and support Latinx and other marginalized populations into our communities, we know that if we were not doing this research, publications, and service provision, our communities would not be building cohesion.
