新澳门六合彩资料's Sociology undergraduate students, Leandra Girma and Devin Johnson, took on an interesting research project aimed at uncovering racial disparities in Georgia. The public鈥檚 opinions on employment, housing, education and the criminal justice system were used to conduct their research. Girma explained that they used the critical race theory to understand Georgia鈥檚 society as they gathered relevant and recent data. 

鈥淲e just wanted to get a better understanding of the public's opinions and attitudes over the racial climate that was happening鈥�, said Girma. 

Girma and Johnson did not take on this 鈥渋ntensive鈥� research alone, however. Helping them were other undergraduate students who ensured that the study was done efficiently. They helped to formulate questions and collected data from participants. Along their journey, Johnson realized that some of their initial expectations for the study were contrary to the actual results they received.

鈥淣o matter your race everybody kind of had similar speculations on race in Georgia,鈥� said Johnson, which was not in their original hypothesis. 

Girma and Johnson were able to present their unanticipated findings at a conference in Jekyll Island, Georgia. Both students agreed that the experience was not only enjoyable, but also educational, as they met other students from different schools across the state who presented on various topics. Johnson admits that while he went into the research process with his own assumptions, he left with a different understanding of how racism is viewed in Georgia. 

鈥淚t was pretty amazing to see how people view Georgia. You have some minorities that don't look at it as bad and you also have lot of majority populations that will actually pay attention and their views made a difference.鈥�
