University of Illinois at Chicago sociologists have received a $420,000 National Science Foundation grant to study how local communities respond to the issue of immigration. The researchers will study individual attitudes and political outcomes related to immigration in four Chicago suburban communities selected based on their growth in the Latino population. The project will include a telephone survey, interviews with political leaders and local voluntary association and organization members, and a study of archival materials, such as city council documents and local newspaper articles. The project is part of the Chicago Area Study , an annual UIC-based training and policy research initiative that examines various social and cultural issues impacting residents in the Chicago metropolitan area. Graduate and undergraduate students in the program team with faculty investigators on research projects related to issues of race and ethnicity. Faculty from the UIC Sociology Department conducting the study are Nilda Flores-Gonzalez, Maria Krysan, Pamela Popielarz, and Andy Clarno.Contributing researchers are Xóchitl Bada and Amalia Pallares
