Tapia, University Professor, the Maxfield-Oshman Professor in Engineering and director of Rice's Center for Excellence and Equity in Education, is internationally known for his research in the computational and mathematical sciences and is a national leader in education and outreach.

Today's ceremony at the Senate Russell Building will feature presentations by members of Congress and a dynamic stage production with performances by top Latino artists. Tapia will join six other award winners, including New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, artist Romero Britto, boxer Oscar de la Hoya, singer Olga Tañon, rock band Maná and animated television star Dora the Explorer, namesake of the award-winning PBS television series for children.

Created in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan and the White House to commemorate the creation of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Hispanic Heritage Awards have grown into one of the nation's most prestigious national honors and events. Past awardees include New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, television journalist Soledad O'Brien, actress Rita Moreno and author Sandra Benítez. The awards are presented annually by the Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF) and sponsored by ExxonMobil.

"There is a component of going to this ceremony that's really important," Tapia said. "This award isn't just for me. I'm going for the group I represent and for the things I care about, which are outreach, K-12 education, diversity and students. Somebody recognized that I've done things of high value, even if they're not high visibility, and that means a great deal to me."

Tapia, born in Los Angeles to parents who emigrated from Mexico as teenagers to seek educational opportunities, was the first in his family to attend college. He has authored or co-authored two books and more than 100 mathematical research papers and was the first native-born Hispanic elected to the National Academy of Engineering. In 2005, he earned Rice's highest academic title, University Professor, becoming only the sixth person to earn the rank at Rice.

Tapia is known at Rice and beyond as a crusader for the advancement of minorities, and for his efforts was honored recently by the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.

“Our research shows that 95 times out of 100, white men receive more job leads than white women or Hispanic men or women,” says Dr. Steve McDonald, an assistant professor of sociology at NC State who was the lead author of the study. On average, there is no difference in the number of job leads received by white men compared to black men and women. “However,” McDonald continues, “white males receive more job leads when they are high-level supervisors, while black men and women receive more job leads when they are in non-management positions that supervise no one.” The findings of the study show that the disparity between white men, minorities and women is greatest among workers in high-level management. McDonald points out that “these gender and race differences in access to job opportunities help to explain why white men continue to fill a disproportionately large number of jobs in upper management.”

The study, which examined data from a nationally representative survey of 3,000 people, looked at the amount of information people received about job opportunities through routine conversations without asking for it. McDonald says the gap in job information between white men and Hispanics is partially attributable to the fact that whites tend to have more “social capital” than Hispanics. McDonald explains that social capital, in this context, is defined as the extent and quality of connections to people in various fields of employment.

However, the study was not able to ascertain why white women receive fewer tips on job opportunities than white men, since the two groups have approximately the same amount of social capital. Nor was the study able to explain why the job leads disparity among women and minorities was greatest among high-level supervisors. McDonald says that while the study could not reach any firm conclusions on the issue, the disparity may stem from some form of either conscious or subconscious discrimination on the part of co-workers and employers.

The study, “Networks of Opportunity: Gender, Race and Job Leads,” will be published in the August issue of Social Problems. The study was co-authored by Dr. Nan Lin of Duke University and Dr. Dan Ao of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

“Networks of Opportunity: Gender, Race and Job Leads”

Authors: Steve McDonald, North Carolina State University; Nan Lin, Duke University; and Dan Ao, Chinese University of Hong Kong

Published: August 2009, Social Problems

Abstract: Researchers have commonly invoked isolation from job opportunities as an explanation for persistence of gender and race inequality in the labor market. But few have examined whether access to information about job opportunities varies by race and gender. Findings from nationally representative survey data reveal significant white male advantage in the number of job leads received through routine conversations when compared to white women and Hispanics. Differences in social network resources (social capital) partly explain the deficit among Hispanics, but fail to account for the job lead gap between white women and men. Further analyses show that inequality in the receipt of job information is greatest at the highest levels of supervisory authority, where white males receive substantially more job leads than women and minorities."

But a new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill shows adolescents who actively embrace their native culture – and whose parents become more involved in U.S. culture – stand a greater chance of avoiding these risks and developing healthier behaviors overall.

The findings are from a longitudinal study by the UNC-based Latino Acculturation and Health Project, which is supported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and directed by Paul Smokowski, Ph.D., an associate professor at the UNC School of Social Work. Researchers interviewed 281 Latino youths and parents in North Carolina and Arizona, asking questions about a wide range of measures of lifestyle and mental health. Participants answered according to how much they agreed with each question (for example, from “not at all” to “very much”), resulting in scores on a scale for each measure.

“We found teens who maintain strong ties to their Latino cultures perform better academically and adjust more easily socially,” Smokowski said. “When we repeated the survey a year later, for every 1-point increase in involvement in their Latino cultures, we saw a 13 percent rise in self-esteem and a 12 to 13 percent decrease in hopelessness, social problems and aggressive behavior.

“Also, the study showed parents who develop a strong bicultural perspective have teen children who are less likely to feel anxiety and face fewer social problems,” he said. “For every increase in a parent’s involvement in United States culture, we saw a 15 to 18 percent decrease in adolescent social problems, aggression and anxiety one year later. Parents who were more involved in U.S. culture were in a better position to proactively help their adolescents with peer relations, forming friendships and staying engaged in school. This decreases the chances of social problems arising.”

“Such results suggest that Latino youth and their parents benefit from biculturalism,” Smokowski said.

The findings are presented as part of a series of articles featured next month in a special issue of The Journal of Primary Prevention, a collaborative initiative between UNC and the CDC. The special issue presents the latest research on how cultural adaptation influences Latino youth behaviors – including involvement in violence, smoking and substance use, as well as overall emotional well-being – and offers suggestions for primary prevention programs that support minority families.

“Bicultural adolescents tend to do better in school, report higher self esteem, and experience less anxiety, depression and aggression,” said study co-author Martica Bacallao, Ph.D., an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, whose work is also featured in the special issue. “It is interesting that, in order to obtain these benefits of biculturalism, adolescents and parents often need to do the opposite of what their natural tendencies tell them. Parents who are strongly tied to their native cultures must reach out to learn skills in the new culture. Adolescents who quickly soak up new cultural behaviors should slow down and cultivate the richness in their native cultures.”

Smokowski added: “The burgeoning size of the Latino population and the increasingly important roles that Latino youth will play in American culture are worthy of community attention. Communities can either invest in prevention to nurture Latino youth as a national resource or pay a heavy price later in trying to help these youth address social problems such as substance use, aggression or dropping out of school; all of which often results from the stress of acculturation.”

Along with Smokowski and Bacallao, Rachel L. Buchanan, Ph.D., assistant professor of social work at Salisbury University in Maryland, was a co-author of the study, titled “Acculturation and Adjustment in Latino Adolescents: How Cultural Risk Factors and Assets Influence Multiple Domains of Adolescent Mental Health.”
