The focus of the research project will be the question of whether there has been a shift in perspective among Hispanic Gen Z in the USA towards the idea of socioeconomic advancement since Trump's second term in office. The assumption that young people's perspectives are changing is based on research that examines how tightened migration measures are triggering active changes in the perspectives and well-being of second-generation people in the USA. To examine the extent to which these measures are having an impact on young people in the USA, I would like to take a qualitative, exploratory approach in the research project. After interviewing experts, I would like to survey young people born between 1997 and 2007 whose parents both come from a Hispanic country. Due to the density of the Latinx population in California, the focus of this project is on people who live there. I am aware of the position I come from, and therefore constant reflection on this throughout this work is of utmost importance. This will hopefully make it possible to research with each other rather than about each other. Central to this is the question of identity: How do young people define their sense of belonging, and which aspects are emphasized? How exactly does their position in society and the structural conditions influence their attitudes? In keeping with the spirit of the seminar, the discussions will be analyzed through an intersectional lens.
