Surviving the Sidewalk: Latino Street Vendors in Los Angeles

Rocío Rosales

4 - 5:30 p.m.

Shorb House, Latinx Research Center

In this talk, I examine fruteros’ social and economic lives, as well as their day-to-day struggles, as they labor under the most restrictive anti-vending ordinances in the country while also being undocumented. In this talk, I will also address several methodological issues I encountered throughout my time in the field.

ATLAS.ti Training [PC Version]

November 16-17, 2019 (rescheduled! note new dates)

This workshop will provide both a conceptual background and practical experience in computer assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDA) using ATLAS.ti. After instruction in the fundamental aspects of CAQDA, the course turns to the logic of the ATLAS.ti program, and how it functions as a tool for CAQDA.

By the end of the course, participants will have all the conceptual and practical tools necessary to employ ATLAS.ti in their current or future projects involving qualitative data.

The workshop will be limited to 12 participants so that everyone receives individual attention. Sliding scale: $400-700. Register by October 16 to save $50. Hosted by the Center for Ethnographic Research. Learn more and register here.
