Aída Hurtado
Aída Hurtado's research focuses on the effects of subordination on social identity, that part of the self that is related to significant group memberships. She is especially interested in those group memberships (e.g., ethnicity, race, class, and gender) that are derogated in this society and are used to legitimate unequal distribution of power between groups.
Her multidisciplinary perspective has emerged from the social psychological literature on social identity and language attitudes, the methodological literature on surveys, and feminist theory. She uses a variety of methods ranging from ethnography to survey research, which is the core of her training.
Hurtado is currently research director for the UC Latino Eligibility Task Force to conduct the Anchor Study. This study is a survey of CaliforniaÌs high schools to identify the barriers Latinos encounter in their efforts to attend the University of California.
