The impact of employment on fatherhood across family generations in white British,Polish and Irish origin families

This paper draws on data from an intergenerational study of fatherhood to consider how fatherhood has changed and how employment conditions and occupational status shape fatherhood, particularly their involvement with their children and, via an analysis of four cases, continuities and discontinuities are identified across the family generations. The study involved three generational chains of men which included grandfathers, sons and grandsons from three ‘ethnicities’; those of white British origin, Polish origin and Irish origin. While most agreed that fatherhood had changed, in particular the way fathers communicate and express affection to their children, other changes were also seen as important – increased material consumption, changes in children's lives and child-focused parenting. On the other hand, employment commitment and working conditions continue to constrain men's involvement with their children in both generations. A different pattern was also evident among a minority of the fathers who modified their employment to take on some childcare responsibilities, while a handful in low-status jobs had wives who were the main earners in the household, a situation that enabled them to take on a significant role in childcare.     

WHEN YOU JUST CANNOT GET AWAY

The continuing evolution of information and communication technologies (ICTs), such as Internet-connected computers and cellular phones, provides a means for increased work/home permeability and for current work/home boundaries to be redefined as workers can potentially be accessible by employers and family/friends at all times. This transformation of work/home boundaries can open the individual to increased levels of negative spillover, wherein aspects of one role negatively impact or impede upon another. This investigation uses data from the Work-Life and Technology Use Survey to determine if ICT use plays a role in defining work/home boundaries and serves as a significant predictor of negative spillover in both the work-to-home and home-to-work directions. Results show that frequency of engaging in ICT-related activities (e.g. checking email and using Facebook) is associated with negative spillover in both directions, suggesting that ICTs may play a significant role in facilitating negative work/home spillover.     

Citizen Bodies: embodying citizens – a feminist analysis

The starting point for this paper is that bodies give substance to citizenship and that citizenship matters for bodies. However, the growing literatures on the body and on citizenship rarely 'speak to each other' in any straightforward sense. Feminist theory has made a significant contribution to both fields of thought,but once again the connections between these fields tend to be passing and underdeveloped. Feminist literature on citizenship – for example in discussions of participation – increasingly offers a critique of the model of the disembodied (supposedly universal) citizen as exclusionary and advocates taking bodies seriously (Lister; Yuval-Davis). Yet bodies appear in such discussions in quite limited ways and remain instrumentally conceived. On the other hand,the growing work on the body fromcontemporary feminist theorists has designated the body a political site par excellence (Grosz). Nevertheless, these writings are typically relatively abstract and philosophical, tend to perceive corporeal politics in circumscribed ways, and are positioned at a distance from political theorizing about implications for citizenship. We intend to consider how to flesh out the bodily element in feminist citizenship literature and how to interrogate the contextual sociality of the political in recent feminist theorizing of the body, in order to suggest ways of thinking about citizen bodies and related future directions for policy-making.     

Border crossings and sexual conquest in the age of neoliberalism in the Sonoran Desert

This article examines the liminal space of the desert borderlands as a scene of routinized sexualized and gendered violence against migrant women border crossers. We explore the human consequences of a philosophy of attrition that is the cornerstone of the US immigration system. Using border sexual conquest and the coloniality of power as lenses, we examine how global neoliberalism represents a form of contemporary conquest that normalizes sexual and gendered violence at transnational locations.     

Has Reform of Global Finance been Misconceived? Policy Documents and the Volcker Rule

After some hope from the mid-2000s onwards, when unprecedented resources were mobilized to provide life-saving treatment to the millions dying from HIV/AIDS in the global South, donors are reneging on their promises, bowing to the imperative of austerity of a self-inflicted economic crisis. Drawing on Galtung's typology of structural and cultural violence, this article examines how the rules and norms of global governance have shaped the context of policy responses to the pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa, and how these material struggles are intimately bound up with struggles over the frames through which the disease is portrayed and perceived by key policy actors and the public. First, we argue that the strikingly differential global distribution of the disease is, at least partially, attributable to the structural violence of Africa's encounter with neoliberal capitalism. Second, we focus on two dominant frames—behavioral and philanthrocapitalist—and examine how they contributed to a depoliticization of the AIDS crisis, negating the counter-framing work of transnational AIDS activism. The latter, which has done so much to unmask our shared responsibility for the unequal distribution of vulnerability and death, is critical to countering the threat the economic crisis poses to the global HIV/AIDS response.

Después de alguna esperanza desde mediados de los años 2000 en adelante, cuando se movilizaron recursos sin precedente, para proveer tratamiento para salvar vidas a las millones de personas que morían a causa del VIH/SIDA en el sur global, los donantes están fallando a sus promesas, cediendo a la austeridad imperativa de una crisis económica autoinflingida. A partir de la tipología de Galtung sobre la violencia estructural y cultural, este artículo examina cómo las reglas y las normas de la gobernanza global han dado forma al contexto de las respuestas políticas a la pandemia del sub Sahara africano, y cómo estas luchas materiales están íntimamente ligadas con las luchas sobre los marcos dentro de los cuales los actores claves de la política y el público describen y perciben la enfermedad. Primero, sostenemos que la sorprendente diferencia en la distribución global de la enfermedad, es al menos atribuible a la violencia estructural del encuentro del África con el capitalismo neoliberal. Segundo, nos enfocamos en dos marcos dominantes—uno conductual y otro filántropo capitalista—y examinamos cómo estos han contribuido a una despolitización de la crisis del SIDA, negando la formulación del trabajo del activismo trasnacional del SIDA. El segundo, que ha hecho tanto para desenmascarar nuestra responsabilidad común por la distribución desigual de la vulnerabilidad y la muerte, es crítico para enfrentar la amenaza que representa la crisis económica a la respuesta global del VIH/SIDA.

年代中期,世界动用了空前的资源,为南方国家数以百万将要死亡的艾滋病患者提供延长生命的治疗,给艾滋病防治工作带来了希望。在这之后,捐赠者们违背了其承诺,屈服于一场自己制造的经济危机的紧缩要求。通过借鉴加尔通的结构暴力和文化暴力分类,本文考察了对于撒哈拉以南非洲艾滋病的大规模爆发问题,全球治理的规则和规范如何塑造了对该问题政策回应的背景;关键政策制定者和公众描绘和认知艾滋病存在着模式之争,本文考察了资源争夺与这种模式之争是如何密切相关的。第一,本文认为,艾滋病惊人的全球差别分布,至少部分可归因于非洲与新自由资本主义碰撞产生的结构暴力。第二,本文关注了两个主导框架——行为的和慈善资本主义的,并考察它们如何促进了艾滋病危机的去政治化,否定了反对跨国艾滋病行动主义的框架。我们对艾滋病脆弱性和死亡的不平等分布负有共同责任,第二点对揭露这一事实贡献良多,是对抗经济危机给全球艾滋病防治带来的威胁的关键。

What Narrows the Stepgap? Closeness Between Parents and Adult (Step)Children in Germany

Using data from the German Family Panel (pairfam) based on 11,746 intergenerational family relationships, the present study examined differences in parental closeness across relations with multiple, coresidential, and non‐coresidential adolescent and adult children. Replicating previous research in a multilevel analysis across families, the authors found a strong positive effect of biological descent on closeness in comparison to adoptive and steprelations; this parental favoritism toward biological offspring was partly explained by selection via parental resources and attitudes. Supplemental within‐parent fixed effect analyses suggested that the relative disadvantage of stepchildren was offset by longer duration of the stepparent–stepchild relationship, lower household income, fewer children in the household, and high parental affirmation of familism.     

Marital Satisfaction,Family Emotional Expressiveness,Home Learning Environments,and Children's Emergent Literacy

The current study investigates associations among marital satisfaction, family emotional expressiveness, the home learning environment, and preschool‐aged children's emergent literacy skills among 385 Midwestern mothers and their children. Path analyses examined how marital satisfaction related to emotional expressiveness in the home and whether this path was associated with the home learning environment and children's literacy skills. Higher maternal satisfaction was associated with higher levels of positive and lower levels of negative family emotional expressiveness. Additionally, family emotional environments characterized by mothers with higher positive expression were related to better home learning environments, which in turn were associated with higher literacy skills in children. Study findings underscore the importance of marital and family processes when considering young children's academic development.     

Values,Morals, and Religion in the Social Studies

Methods for facilitating students' standards-based consumer literacy are addressed via the use of problem solving with food and product labels. Fifth graders will be able to: (1) provide detailed analysis of food and product labels; (2) understand large themes, including production, distribution, and consumption; and (3) explore consumer decision-making skills.
