The proposed research project will explore the effects of racism on minority groups in everyday life. We intend to investigate the ways in which racism impacts individual’s sense of identity, access to resources, and overall well-being. The study will focus on three different populations: African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Native Americans.

In order to do so, we plan to use a mixed methods approach. This approach requires both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques as well as analysis (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018). First, we will conduct semi-structured interviews with members of each population to gain an understanding of their experiences with racism and how it has impacted their lives. All interviews will be transcribed for further analysis. Second, we will administer a questionnaire survey assessing participants’ perceptions of discrimination that they have faced in everyday settings such as work or school (Ely et al., 2017).

We anticipate that our results may show disparities based on race when it comes to individuals’ access to economic opportunities or social networks due to systemic forms of discrimination (Williams & McShane 2010). Additionally, our findings could provide insight into how people cope with experiencing racism on a daily basis as well as potential measures for reducing its negative effects.

This research proposal is important considering the current socio-political climate where issues related to race are especially salient and has implications for policy development which addresses racial disparities within society (Sue & Rivera 2016). Ultimately, this project aims at providing evidence which would inform strategies for creating more equitable societies where everyone can flourish regardless of race or ethnicity.
