    Personal profile

    About

    Dr. Lucko’s research explores the social construction of identity among marginalized students within the intersecting processes of schooling, systemic inequality and discrimination. Her dissertation research included 16 months of ethnographic fieldwork between 2004 and 2006 on the process of ethnic identity formation among Ecuadorian immigrant teenagers in Madrid, Spain. During the 2014-2015 academic year, she collaborated on a Participatory Action Research project with Latinx middle school students in Northern California. This research examined the role of segregation and internalized racism on students’ conceptions of ethnic identity and self.
