Finding America's Largest Brazilian Enclave

This research is, like, a qualitative study about migrant farm workers' experiences, ya know? Not just about their jobs, but also about their social and cultural transitions. It's gonna be lit! Yo, this research is all about checking if farm migrants in Scotland get treated equally and if they, as ethnic minorities, get the same rights and respect for their culture as the majority peeps do. I've been lowkey analyzing the research problem and checking out all the lit that's been dropped on it. This chapter is, like, all about why and how I've chosen the methods for studying the problem and how I've evaluated them. It's, like, super clear and stuff. The whole point of my research process is like, not just to drop some major knowledge bombs, but also to clap back at all those haters who be dissing farm workers and to explore all the stuff I don't even know yet.

Methodo-challenges

So like, this study is all about qualitative research, but there's no one perspective or like, agreed-upon way to do it. And get this, there's no set standards to judge if the conclusions are valid or authentic. Crazy, right? (Schutt, 2012:330). Yo, like, individual experience be all about havin' different vibes, feels, and attitudes, ya know? And that's what shapes how we do qualitative research, like the whole methodology, themes, and intent, fam. Proponents of qualitative research methods be like: 'At the end of the day, there's no cap on how to do a qualitative research project' (Guest et al., 2013). At the same time, like, finding analytical paths for qualitative data is kinda hard (Miles, 1979) cuz the analytical path is like, super dependent on the datasets, you know? be generated thru interview transcripts, docs or filed notes. The generated data be lookin' like hella huge transcripts and, like, the rules for analyzing that data can get mad complicated (Bryman, 2008). Like, if migrant farm workers have, like, a more vulnerable cultural capital, they might have, like, a stronger claim from cultural capital, you know? bc losing equal vibes of migrants' cultural clout cuz of the diff between the level of clout and vibes both members get from the state may bring its own drama, including more demands for equality.

Methodological Steps and Approaches, but make it spicy

The vibes and moves that will be followed in the production of this research with regard to research strategies and research designs include general research questions and development and explanation of hypothesis based on review of the existing lit, selection of relevant site and identification of research participants, collection and interpretation of relevant data, development of conceptual and theoretical work and writing up findings/conclusions. This research lowkey vibes with some lit on migration, ya know? It's all about theorizing equality and cultural capital and how it majorly impacts migrants. The findings suggest that, like, a lot of the lit is, like, totally different from each other in, like, a bunch of ways. These findings lowkey suggest a major gap in the lit and in our understanding of the migrants' world in the UK, EU, etc. The lit gap that's been spotted is all about two big Qs: As a research strategy, this qualitative research is all about that inductive vibe when it comes to investigating equality and cultural capital for migrant farm workers. It's got some major epistemological and ontological stuff going on, you know? The collection of research data ain't dictated by theoretical debates, fam. Rather, this research is like, triggered by a major concern as to whether or not all members in the population groups are treated with equality and have the same rights of recognition of their cultural capital, ya know? I've been saying that this whole cultural capital thing is like a total equality issue, ya know? It's always causing drama between the majority and minority peeps. And there are a bunch of reasons for it, like when people don't value or acknowledge cultural capital, or when employers and landlords take advantage. It's a whole mess, tbh. The tea on this conflict is that it's all about how minority peeps might be at risk of losing their cultural clout. Basically, the more vulnerable someone's cultural capital is, in terms of recognition and protection, the more they deserve to be heard. 

Hypothetical Explanation of Research Qs

My prediction as a hypothesis is based on a lit review, ya know? The following tea on the possible connection between migration, equality, and cultural capital is lowkey being thrown out there to be tested: If equal recognitions of cultural capital aren't actively ensured, this is hella likely to produce more claims to equality. I'm about to spill the tea on my predicted outcome, like, it's just a hypothesis, you know? Every person flexes on their knowledge, qualifications, and skills 'cause they're mad valuable for leveling up and achieving goals, ya know? OMG, like if they're all about their cultural clout, they totally deserve to be recognized and protected for it, you know? It's like, recognizing cultural clout is, like, totally important, you know? It's a way to compare people without, like, major differences in resources, so everyone gets the same rights, ya feel? This lit equality that lets all homies in the state flex their rights effectively clearly shows that both the majority and the minority have the same right to demand equality from cultural capital. Like, fam, minority members have just as much right to flex their cultural capital as the majority members, ya know?
